Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) Cross-border cooperation should support regions located on land or sea borders. Based on experience from previous programming periods, the Commission should be empowered to define the list of cross-border areas to receive support under crossborder cooperation programmes in a simpler way, by cooperation programme. In drawing up that list, the Commission should take into account adjustments needed to ensure coherence, in particular on land and maritime borders, and continuity of programme areas established for the 2007- 2013 programming period. These adjustments may reduce or enlarge existing programme areas, particularly to enable the cooperation of the maritime territories that make up the external borders of the Union, or the number of crossborder cooperation programmes, but may allow for geographical overlap.
