The Euregio Meuse-Rhine

 At Europe's heart, Meuse-Rhine is a Euroregion, which best captures the essence of the European ideal. With its three languages, spoken in five regions, themselves extending into three member states, it has a great deal to offer. Its rich and diverse cultural heritage (going back to Charlemagne's days and before); its great economic potential and future-oriented economic structures are impressive, as is the natural environment of forest, hill and dale. However, perhaps most important of all is the real-life, real-time experience of living and working together with neighbours across borders.

Meuse-Rhine takes in the Belgian provinces of Limburg, Liège and Belgium's German-speaking community, Dutch South Limburg, the German districts of Aachen, Düren, Euskirchen and Heinsberg, and the cities of Aachen, Liège and Maastricht. It is an area of 10,400km², which, with its population of 3.7 million and general business presence of 250,000 companies, approaches state-like dimensions in both demographic and economic terms.
