  24. EGTC AND NEW 2014-2020 PROGRAMMINGStrenghts and weaknesses • Strategic coordination of the policies in the field of local transport, Energy and natural resources management; healthcare and welfare services; culture and training, urban planning • Implementation of territorial cooperation programmes and projects co-financed by the EU or other financing sources. • Open consultation for the criteria of the new 2014-2020 EU programming period in which the EGTC will be able to give a substantial contribution as a cross-border institution, representative of the territory • Option for the management of ITI withinItaly-SlovenianCBC programme • Lack of clear guidelines on how to concretely design ITIs • New Programming tools are creating great expectations for local stakeholders but programming bodies are still reluctant and are not encouraging their activation • EGTC is much more seen as a «container» rather than a tool for the achievement of concrete results • In spite of the great opportunity offered by the new programming period tools (territorial approach, role of EGTC, multi-fund options) institutions are adopting a conservative approach rather an innovative one
