EGTC ZASNET – PROJECTS - Cross-border Biosphere Reserve Meseta Ibérica

Principal aims: development of an application to UNESCO for the

creation of the biggest Cross-border Biosphere Reserve in Europe.

“LA 15º Reserva de la Biosfera Transfronteriza”

This project is financed by POCTEP (Operative Program of Cross

Border Cooperation Portugal - Spain),

8

This territorry cover 4 Natural parks from Spain and Portugal:

- natural parks of "Montesinho" (Portugal)

- natural parks of "Lago de Sanabria y alredores" (Spain)

- natural parks of "Douro Internacional" (Portugal)

- natural parks of "Arribes del Duero" (Spain)

…and several areas classified in the Natura 2000 Network, such as the protected

landscape of the Azibo, the Sierra de la Culebra, the Lagunas de Villafáfila and the Sabor

River/Maçãs River, etc.

9

In this context a plan of action was also elaborated for the Biosphere Reserve that

deals with a modern proposal of a pilot region for the sustainable development.

A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve represents a "certificate of environmental quality" that

can be used in the promotion of the development and employment. The

recognition by the UNESCO can serve to highlight and reward these efforts.

10

EGTC ZASNET – PROJECTS – MICOSYLVA +

Objective is the valorisation of the Mycoforestry and of the wild edible mushrooms as a

factor of sustainability and forest multi-functionality, "promoting the economic viability of

sustainable forest management through new complementary solutions to the product

"wood", strengthening the social and cultural dimensions of forestry, and increasing the

biological diversity of the forests ".

This project is funded by the Territorial Cooperation Programme SUDOE, where the European Grouping of Territorial cooperation ZASNET is a project partner.

INOVACION 4 Empowerment/ Diseminación de

buenas practicas

No crear personas entidades consultoras especializadas en gestión de proyectosvsverdaderos

especialistas de desarrollo del territorio transfronterizo Red de centros urbanos de pequeña dimensión y mayor articulación con el rural

La realidad de cada una de las regiones de frontera es diferente (historia, cultura, nivel de desarrollo)

Valorizar económicamente recursos activos intensivos en territorio

Ventajas/puntos fuertes Que Mejorar ?


28

Barreras a la cooperación transfronteriza y en el Mercado Interno

Limitaciones jurídicas impuestas por la legislación nacional - esto se

prende con normas nacionales que por un lado pueden limitar la

concurrencia entre como es el caso de del código de los contratos

públicos que muchas veces imponen reglas que son muy difíciles de las

empresa extranjeras cumplieren.

Al nivel interno de funcionamiento de ZASNET también ha normempresas

ativas nacionales que impiden el buen funcionamiento. Como ocurre

cuando los miembros de Asamblea General de ZASNET son españoles,

no pueden firmar cheques en Portugal por imposición del Banco de

Portugal y se tenemos una cuenta bancaria se pasa de la misma

manera.


29

Para la implementación de acciones de cooperación muchas veces es

difícil implementar porque se trata de diferencias en las estructuras y

competencias. Las administraciones en España son muy distintas de las

administraciones en Portugal. En España tenemos la regionalización y en

Portugal no existe.

Falta de información a los ciudadanos y empresarios (contratación de

personal, registro de empresas y reglamentos de sectores específicos).

Ausencia de transportes públicos transfronterizos.

Ausencia de una identidad conjunta
