  25. A few words about EGTC: • when thinking of using EGTC to run a project, or a programme, take care of the following aspects: • flexibility (labour laws) • reactivity (payment) • fiscality (VAT recovered? Tax on salaries?...) => which status applies in the country? • an EGTC to invest together (waste or sewage treatment, tram, swimming pool, hospital or school…) YES ! • an EGTC as Managing Authority of EU programmes, beautiful ! • an EGTC to bear an international team or Secretariat, this has to be seriously examined in details…
