Summary/Abstract: The European Union has been investing in cross-border cooperation for more than 29 years via INTERREG, which is funded under the European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) goal of the European Structural and Investment Fund (ESIF). In 1990, the first 31 INTERREG programmes, supporting crossborder cooperation, were launched, with a European community contribution of €1.082 billion. ETC is one of the two goals of cohesion policy and provides a framework for the implementation of joint actions and policy exchanges between national, regional and local actors from different Member States and with neighbouring countries, including Ukraine.
