11 The analysis of EU territorial co-operation: priorities, problems and effectiveness (University of Tartu. Centre of Applied Social Sciences) Textual analysis of strategic documents: national (24), regional (55) and local strategies (52) Interviews with representatives of ministries (16), county governments and other regional organisations (15), local governments (3) and SME Foundation Determination of needs and requirements: governmental fields and regions Frameworks for evaluation: political guidelines Problems and effectiveness of territorial co-operation Evaluation of needs and requirements Suggestions
12 Problems in territorial co-operation - 1 Lack of capacity in regional and local authorities to participate and lead projects Internal co-operative structures of local municipalities and businesses are weak Difference of governmental systems and authority especially with Russia (prestige of state authorities) Different interests of potential partners and predomination of competitive thinking
13 Problems in territorial co-operation - 2 The project bureaucracy is too complicated and financial transactions take too much time for smaller organizations, esp. compared to gains achieved Territorial co-operation is not important for and in ministerial policies, lack of motivation in administrative staff Strict residence-permit policy in Estonia Visa-regime and custom-border between EU and Russia
14 Efficiency and effects of territorial co-operation - 1 The most important effect is personal development of participants in co-operation new skills and knowledge, enhanced confidence. Co-operative projects are used to get additional finances for local projects formally integrated to co-operative projects. Some times it is considered to be the main motivation for cooperation.
15 Efficiency and effects of territorial co-operation - 2 The application of learnt knowledge depends on local situation organizational and financial capacities, strategic positioning of co-operative projects in development practices. The integration of territorial co-operation to strategic planning should be improved the key problem is in planning practices as such, esp. in regional level. Sharing of experience and production of new solutions in co-operation between only some municipalities is inefficient.
16 Efficiency and effects of territorial co-operation - 3 The capacities of local governments should be enhanced to improve efficiency of projects and sustainability of the results for local and regional communities merger of municipalities or effective co-operative structures (incl national organizations). Co-operative projects should be open to different types of organizations municipalities, state agencies, SMEs, universities, etc.
