Summary |
The Protocol aims to strengthen the Outline Convention by expressly recognising, under certain conditions, the right of territorial communities to conclude transfrontier co-operation agreements, the validity in domestic law of the acts and decisions made in the framework of a transfrontier co-operation agreement, and the legal corporate capacity ("legal personality") of any co-operation body set up under such an agreement. As the general legal framework for co-operation of local/regional authorities across borders in Europe, the Outline Convention together with its Protocol will be useful to the new member States in their governmental reform processes. |
