How can the Bialowieza Forest be a euroregion when Belarus isn't even a member of the Council of Europe? I don't see it on their list, either. --Joy [shallot] 10:06, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Does an euroregion really need to be approved by the Council of Europe? The Bialowezia Forest Euroregion apparently exists (see http://www.euroregion-puszczabialowieska.prv.pl), the treaty has been signed by Polish and Belarus representatives... and it was active this year - something to do with the official Forest flag (as found by google).

Euroregions can be found in countries that are not members of the Council of Europe (CoE). The CoE's 'Madrid Convention'(1980) provides a template for organising cross-border co-operation that in theory could be used anywhere by local and regional authorities. Euroregions strongly differ in their set-up and objectives and there is not legal obligation to comply with any specific model.
