Key points

  • The report evaluates the current implementation of four major macro-regional strategies: Baltic Sea, Danube, Adriatic-Ionian, and Alpine Space.
  • These strategies operate under the 'three no's' principle, meaning they do not require new EU legislation, new formal structures, or additional EU funding.
  • The implementation of these strategies is supported by existing regulations and European Structural and Investment Funds.
  • A significant challenge identified is the need for stronger political commitment and better administrative capacity at national and regional levels.
