Actions and activities of the Programme shall ensure European added value in particular through: (a) the development and implementation of solutions that address local, regional or national challenges that have an impact on cross-border or Union-wide challenges, and which may also contribute to social, economic and territorial cohesion; (b) their complementarity and synergy with other Union programmes and policies at regional, national, Union and international level, as appropriate; (c) their contribution to the consistent and coherent implementation of Union law and policies, as well as the promotion of European values, including solidarity; (d) their contribution to the sharing of good practices, also with a view to increasing the visibility of the reform programmes, and to building a Union-wide platform and network of expertise; (e) the promotion of mutual trust between beneficiary Member States and the Commission and of cooperation among Member States.
