     1. The Contracting Parties may,  if their national law allows it,
decide  that  the transfrontier cooperation body is to be a public law

system,  any  measures which it takes are to have the same legal force
and effects as if they had been taken by the  territorial  communities
or authorities which concluded the agreement.
