SWOT-analysis of the CTA
  • 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
  • Opportunities
  • 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
