II.   OBJECTIVES

The Rio Minho EGTC aims to facilitate and promote territorial cooperation between its members, through territorial cooperation activities, including all activities which – in accordance with its competences and applicable EU, Portuguese and Spanish law – are delegated or subdelegated to it by national or European bodies, in order to implement programmes or projects that are co-financed mainly by the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund and the Cohesion Fund. With a view to contributing to development and strengthening local economic and social cohesion, the Rio Minho EGTC’s duties consist of defining common ground and promoting territorial cooperation in the area, increasing institutional cohesion in the area, promoting cross-border cultural and natural heritage, promoting the area covered by the Rio Minho EGTC externally in order to develop the potential of local resources, and establishing and consolidating the cross-border Rio Minho tourist brand and other brands at national and international level. The Rio Minho EGTC’s tasks also include executing and managing contracts and agreements that allow it to benefit from financial instruments adopted or planned by the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic – preferably combined with European funding –, managing facilities and operating services of general interest with a cross-border dimension, promoting and developing studies, plans, programmes and different types of relations between the associated public bodies.
