Through the b-solutions initiative, the Association of European Border Regions (AEBR) and the European Commission’s DG REGIO have gathered data and knowledge on cross-border cooperation and the legal and administrative obstacles that still pose limit to the interactions between neighbouring regions within Europe. 165 different border obstacles are compiled into several publications. These documents aim to inform stakeholders, policy makers, and other relevant actors at various levels about the daily challenges faced by citizens and local authorities in border regions. The publications also propose potential strategies and solutions to improve cross-border cooperation.

​

  • four compendiums and one annex showcasing the obstacles and relative solutions of the 165 cases identified between 2018 and 2024;
