Task Force of External Borders (TEFB)
The Association of European Border Regions (AEBR) has made efforts to introduce the importance of the border regions, euroregions and cross border cooperation
all over Europe.
AEBR organizes TASK FORCES on different issues of interest for European border and cross-border regions to which belong representatives of European institutions
and political committees, associations and society-relevant groups with an advisory role.
The Task Force External Borders (TFEB) was launched on the occasion of the AEBR General Assembly and Annual Conference 2007 in Lappeenranta (Regional Council of South Karelia, FIN). Involved are representatives of member regions at the external borders of the EU. The Task Force is divided in 3 sub groups: North, Central Europe and South Europe & Balkan. It is currently chaired by Johannes Moisio (South Karelia).
