The INTERREG Community initiative was designed with the objective that national borders were not an obstacle neither to the balanced development and the integration of the European territory. Also, pursuing an integrated action in the face of economic development and economic and social cohesion. Particularly relevant was this initiative in the case of Spain, in its different phases, setting up as one of the countries most benefited the European regional policy and, in particular, cross-border and transnational cooperation. From 2007 it has created a new regulatory framework for the policy of Cohesion of the European Union, in which European territorial cooperation – continuation of the initiative – acquires a greater legal range in which the Spanish border areas will continue to receive financial support.
