E.G.T.C. AMPHICTYONY

The Mediterranean, our sea, is the lake of its Peoples. Those Peoples marched through time and space, alone, sometimes as nomads and tribes and later as independent entities or in the shadow of great empires, with periods of peaceful co-existence, rivalries, friendships, defeats and victories highlighting civilizations whose roots can be found throughout the modern world, always having as common denominator the history written in this particular part of the world. 

Maintaining relations of cooperation and twinning with one another, the Twinned Municipalities, Associations and Areas of the Mediterranean believe that it is a matter of great importance for their peoples to live in a continuously peaceful environment and one of constant development, financially effective, socially just and environmentally viable with cohesion and security in their areas. 

The Twinned Municipalities, Areas and their Associations of the Mediterranean, members of the AMPHICTYONY Network of Twinned Cities and Areas of the Mediterranean that was established with its 1997 charter, realizing the need to adjust the existing charter to the Regulation EK 1082/2006 of the European Parliament and Council of July 5th 2006 for the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation , decide to amend the Charter of AMPHICTYONY as follows in order for it to evolve into an E.G.T.C Network.

Joint Meeting of the Boards of Directors of the EGTCs based in Greece

In a spirit of creative collaboration, the joint meeting of the Boards of Directors of the four European Groupings of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) based in Greece—Amphictyony, HELICAS, Euxine City, and CLIMANET—took place in Athens, at the KEDE conference hall.

The purpose of the meeting was to review public policy developments and to strengthen the operational cooperation among the Groupings. The proceedings focused on the strategic role of EGTCs in cross-border development, the challenges of climate neutrality, and close cooperation with institutional bodies of Local Government.

At the same time, the Joint Action Plan 2026-2027 was designed, with a particular emphasis on priorities ahead of the upcoming Greek Presidency of the Council of the EU in the second half of 2027.

The proceedings were honored by presentations from executives of the European Parliament's Greek department, the Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy of the European Commission, representatives of the Ministry of Interior, as well as institutional bodies of Local Government (EETAA, KEDE).

We continue united to strengthen regional development and territorial cohesion!
