SWOT-analysis of the CTAOpportunities
European Union Policy, targeted to the development of cooperation between the border regions.
Existence of funds, financing the development of cross-border cooperation. There are 52 cross-border co-operation Programmes along internal EU borders and 13 transnational co-operation Programmes.
The CTA is the only association in its kind in the North East Europe – no competitors
Opportunity of networking with similar organizations in Europe and other countries
Threads
Other border cities could not be interested in the membership
Projects, submitted by the CTA, might be not approved by the Programmes
Low initiative of cross border citizens
Sharp gap in the level of living of the border cities’ citizens
Political and economic barriers for cross-border cooperation
Unstable economic situation in Europe
Economic crisis and therefore tough financial situation in border cities – members of the CTA
Different conditions and the ways of action on social, health and safety matters in border cities
Problems in the issues concerning free movement of goods and labour force, especially on the eastern border of the EU
