What was the core OBSTACLE in undertaking the activity? Legal and administrative barriers in the fields of transport, health and education.
Which were the main CAUSES of the OBSTACLE? Insufficient capacity – in terms of human and economic resources as well as administrative competence – to manage both conurbations. In addition, there are two different legal systems that have to be considered when implementing cross border projects. This situation creates obstacles and prevents the management from being efficient in the conurbations.
Which were the main EFFECTS of the OBSTACLE? Eurocity Chaves-Verín still has obstacles to overcome to achieve good cooperation on health issues. The administrative barriers and an unawareness of each others health care systems are the main challenges that need to be resolved. The primary effects of this obstacle are: the lack of joint health care facilities (joint blood 
banks, cross-border treatment of cancer patients) and problems with patient admissions in the hospitals in the neighboring countries.
Please, describe briefly the factor(s) which mostly (3-4) aggravated the persistence of the Obstacle Administrative barriers are the primary obstacles that contribute to the persistence of this obstacle. They will continue to exist because no member state will and can 
change established protocols solely for the benefit of border regions. The only way to overcome them will be a bilateral/trilateral cooperation between the respective authorities. Practical solutions can be found, tailored to the respective bilateral situation along a border.
