The preparatory work for Alpine Strategy had started long before the invitation by the Council to the Commission to prepare a Macro-regional Strategy for the Alpine Region. The Strategy builds upon a long tradition of co-operation in the Alps and on the existing preparatory work.
The strategy will benefit from the long experience of a large number of cooperation structures already operating in the area: Arge-Alp, Alpine Convention, Alpe-Adria, Euregio, Cotrao, trilateral cooperation between Slovenia, NE-Italy and Austria and other ad hoc structures such as the ‘Zurich Group’.
