Regional distribution of AEBR members across Europe
Not only border and cross-border regions are members of the AEBR, but also some large-sized amalgamations of border regions are members as well.
When looking at the smaller border and cross-border regions, one can observe certain particularities and regional concentrations in the different parts of Europe (see map):
- Northern Europe and Baltic Sea area: concentration of cross-border regions in the very North of Scandinavia and in the Southern part of the Baltic Sea area;
- Central and Eastern Europe: half of cross-border regions in this area are members of AEBR;
- North West Europe: except from South England and Northern France, the proportion of AEBR members is high throughout the area;
- Alpine-Danubian region: In the past, there was a high proportion of large-sized amalgamations that have become AEBR members, but, in general, most of the new structures have not become AEBR members. This is a strong and complex CBC melting pot, where our Association should become even more active in the coming years.
- South West Europe/Western part of the Mediterranean region: high proportion of members, with the Portuguese, Spanish and Southern French border regions accounting for the majority of the members;
- South East Europe/Eastern part of the Mediterranean region: some of the border and cross-border regions have become members, especially in Northern Greece, but also in Bulgaria.
However, 95 out of the approximately 163 working border and cross-border regions have become members of AEBR.
