LECTURE 8

 

The potential of cross border cooperation in the Hungarian-Romanian border area. The Bihor-Bihar Euro-region.

 

 

This lecture provided another example of regional cross-border co-operation, The Bihor-Bihar Euro-region in the Hungarian-Romanian border area. The lecturer presented the institutional arrangements already established, which offer opportunities for regional co-operation in various fields such as trade, administration, health-care, education and environmental issues. The subsequent discussion focused on the still existing obstacles on the way of fully developed regional integration.  Such obstacle appears to be the lack of legal harmonization. It was discussed how to overcome the effects originating from this situation.
