	Eskelinen-Kokkonen
		The most important institutional change has been the transfer of responsibility for regional development to regional councils which are bottom-up organisations based on municipalities, whereas in the past this responsibility lay with top-down regional organisations of the central government.
		Thus, the actors most motivated to cooperate across the border have not had (before the implementation of the Interreg programmes) resources ear-marked for such, but instead have been required to adjust their activities to fit the frame set by the central government.
		However, these actors, with regional councils and municipalities in the forefront, have created unofficial consultative bodies (for instance, between eastern Finland and the Republic of Karelia), which have been of major practical importance in information exchanges and also in the preparation of cooperative projects across the border.
