What was the identified solution? An agenda was drawn up, identifying key problem areas in addition to requests for support from the state. The agenda is divided into three parts:

1)    Problem areas for all border regions;

2)    Items relating to specific border regions and

3)    Items where the role played by the state still needs to be elaborated in more detail.

An evaluation has revealed that cross-border cooperation should be developed from a problem-oriented approach into a long-term strategic orientation.

The topics on the agenda which are relevant to Lower Saxony are:

  • Cross-border labour market
  • Education (cross border recognition of qualifications in the school and university sector)
  • Healthcare
  • Cross-border disaster response
  • The fight against crime
  • Port area on the Ems estuary
  • Natura 2000
