II.   OBJECTIVES

The grouping’s not-for-profit purpose, which it pursues both in Belgium and abroad, on its own account or on behalf of its members, is to facilitate, promote and lead cross-border cooperation between its members in the territory defined in Article 3 of its statute.
As such, the grouping carries out projects within the scope of the tasks of its members as defined in the Charter of the Scarpe-Scheldt Regional Natural Park [Parc naturel régional Scarpe-Escaut], as renewed by Ministerial Decree No 2010-1021 of 30 August 2010, and the management plan for the Scheldt Plains Natural Park [Parc naturel des Plaines de l’Escaut] adopted by the Walloon Minister for Agriculture, Nature and Rural Affairs on 1 April 2015.
These projects aim to strengthen the cross-border identity of the territory concerned. The grouping draws up and implements an action plan.
The grouping is entitled to carry out works or to be the developer of works necessary for the realisation of its objective and in the territory defined in Article 3. The grouping may conclude contracts and agreements. The grouping may also seek all types of financing – public, private and in particular Community funding – for the implementation of territorial cooperation programmes and projects. The grouping coordinates the implementation of the projects thus co-financed.
The grouping possesses, as a general rule, full legal capacity to perform all acts and transactions directly or indirectly related to its objective or which would be such as to facilitate, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, the attainment of that objective.
