In order to achieve the objectives referred to in Article 174 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), Article 175, third paragraph, TFEU provides for the possibility of adopting specific actions outside the Funds referred to in Article 175, first paragraph, TFEU. Furthermore, territorial cooperation contributes to the objectives referred to in Article 174 TFEU. It is therefore appropriate to adopt the measures that are necessary to improve the conditions for the implementation of territorial cooperation actions.
