Expected Outcome: Setting up of 14 Cross-Border Coordination Points, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2025/925 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 May 2025 on a “Border Regions’ instrument for development and growth (BRIDGEforEU)”, involving approximately 14 Member States of the European Union.

In such cases, only one of the MS co-creators of the joint CBCP must provide the letter of Acknowledgment, referred to in section 5. Scope: BCP and prospective CBCP set-up according to the Regulation aim at providing solution of legal and administrative obstacles in a cross-border context and in land or maritime border regions of neighbouring Member States. Any activity for the operational setting-up of CBCP, such as (indicative and not exhaustive list only): rent or purchase of real estate, of digital equipment or systems, of furniture and office equipment; procurement of studies and advise to define the CBCP functioning model; purchase of office supplies; purchase of design and development of web pages; legal consulting; legal assessment of the first files (as defined in articles 7 and 8 of the Regulation) received by the CBCP; Any communication activity related to the CBCP.
