Baltic Sea Strategy Seminar on 12 November 2009

A new EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region for growth, prosperity and clean environment will be discussed

The Swedish EU Presidency and Nordic Council of Minsiters have the pleasure to invite You to the Baltic Sea Strategy Seminar

The Baltic Sea has been an important communication channel for thousands of years and trade in the region flourished. Now the time has come to revitalize the cooperation and to work together for growth, prosperity and clean environment.

By end of October the European Council is expected to give its endorsement and formal green light to the first regional strategy within the European Union. The strategy has been processed and finalized after intensive consultations with governments, NGO:s and private sector participants and other stake holders in the Region. The Strategy contains a very concrete Action Plan setting out fifteen Priority Areas, designed to address specific and important issues for its region, citizens and enterprises.

In short the strategy aims at:
• cleaning up the Baltic Sea
• making the Region more prosperous with more trade and innovative companies
• making the Region better connected in transport and electricity, and
• making the Region effective in dealing with accidents and cross-border crime combating

Exactly what the priorities are and what actions are foreseen, how and why you should get involved and other related questions we would like to present and discuss with you at the forthcoming seminar.

Organizing partners: The Stockholm School of Economics in Riga, The Foreign Ministry of Latvia, the Danish Embassy in Riga
