The constitutive act of the Commission is conceived as a forum or meeting point for both administrations, and therefore, as an instrument of collaboration between them, in order to promote programmes and possible joint actions for the development of common policies in the different sectoral areas, and to serve as a channel for preventive actions in the attempt to avoid conflicts arising between the two administrations, and to arbitrate proposals for solutions to issues that are of interest to the aforementioned administrations in matters within their competence.

To this end, the Commission may examine any matters affecting both parties, and in particular those aimed at avoiding or attempting to resolve conflicts of competences through extra-procedural means, as well as devise mechanisms for mutual collaboration in the different areas in which the activity of both administrations can converge.
