    LEADER Miselerland – Moselle-Franconia

    What is LEADER?

    LEADER is a European funding programme for the development of rural areas, which engages local actors in designing their regions under the European Common Agricultural Policy. The underlying approach of the European Union is to transfer, to rural areas, more responsibility for their own development.

    The first, transnational

    LEADER region in Europe

    The first transnational LEADER region in Europe is situated to the east and west of the Moselle river in the direct vicinity of the LEADER area of Miselerland in Luxembourg and the German LEADER area of Moselle-Franconia at the heart of the border triangle and at the centre of the wider region of Saar-Lor-Lux-Rhineland-Palatinate-Wallonia between the cities of Luxembourg and Trier. These two regions form the first transnational LEADER region in Europe.

    The first, transnational

    LEADER development concept

    Die Menschen in den beiden LEADER-Gebieten Moselfranken und Miselerland pflegen seit Jahren vielfältige Verbindungen und regen Austausch über die Staatsgrenze hinweg. Um diese enge Zusammenarbeit zu unterstützen, auszuweiten und noch greifbarer und verständlicher zu gestalten, haben die Verantwortlichen der beiden LEADER-Gruppen beschlossen, mit der europaweit ersten, grenzüberschreitenden und gemeinsamen LEADER Entwicklungsstrategie eine neue Qualität des nachbarschaftlichen Zusammenlebens in der gemeinsamen Region zu erreichen und eine Leuchtturmfunktion für die vielen anderen Grenzregionen in der EU zu übernehmen.

    The local action group

    Moselle-Franconia

    Stakeholders from public administration, industry and commerce, social services and civil society have come together in the local action group (LAG) to draw up a development strategy for the region which can be used to draft projects or to support third-party projects.

    The local action group

    Miselerland

    The local action group LEADER Miselerland was set up in 2003. In view of its 48 members from 14 municipalities and 34 organisations, it reflects the make-up of the region.
