The Centre for Cross Border Studies presented a seminar entitled “Models of Cross-Border Cooperation for a Post-Brexit Context” to Oireachtas Members and staff. The aim of the presentation was to let Members hear directly from those involved in co-operation at the EU’s borders.
The borders discussed were the Norway-Sweden and French-Swiss borders, and the speakers described how co-operation takes place between EU member states and non-EU countries. The speakers were Mr. Erik Hagen (Programme Manager for the Sweden-Norway INTERREG A Programme), Ms Annika Daisley (the Border Obstacles Project Manager at the Svinesundskommittén), and H.E. Mr Maxime Lefebvre (France’s Ambassador for Transboundary Cooperation).
The seminar was hosted by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on European Union Affairs.
