Boosting labour market in border regions is already challenging, but the problems double when you deal with the employment of third-country nationals!Thanks to b-solutions, the Euregio Rhein-Maas-Nord obtained legal support to find ways that could facilitate the cross-border employment of non-EU citizens.
Tools such as the "geoblocking" pose a threat to the enhancement of multilingualism in EU border regions. The free access to audio-visual contents in the language of the neighbouring country, indeed, is still too often denied along EU borders.
This is exactly the situation of the German-speaking Community of Belgium as illustrated by the advice case submitted by the Euregio Meuse-Rhine.
In order to find possible solutions to the impossibility of local citizens of acessing contents from Germany, the Euregio was consulted by experts at the Maastricht University. The first tangible results following the resolution strategy proposed are already visible.
Thomas de Vos, our former contact point at the Euregio Meuse-Rhine comments.

Martin Unfried from the Institute for Transnational and Euregional cross border cooperation and Mobility at the Maastricht University advised three cases at the BE-NL border to find solutions fostering cross-border cooperation in the fields of employment, health-emergency services and institutional cooperation.
Upon fulfilment of the obstacles analysis, the Municipality of Woensdrecht in The Netherlands - one of the three entities consulted - has already created a working group to implement the solutions proposed by Mr Unfried.
