A conference in Brussels on 18 June, 2008, put the spotlight on a new tool that makes it easier for regions to team up to manage projects involving more than one Member State. The conference, entitled 'Building a European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation', aimed to promote setting up new groupings under the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) instrument. The event was organised jointly by the European Commission and the Committee of the Regions, in cooperation with the Slovenian Presidency of the European Union and the European Parliament.
