EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region

WHAT? The EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR) aims at saving the Baltic Sea, connecting the region and increasing prosperity. WHY? The Strategy is an agreement between the Member States of the EU and the European Commission to strengthen cooperation between the countries bordering the Baltic Sea in order to meet the common challenges and to benefit from common opportunities facing the region. WHO? The EU member states involved in the EUSBSR are Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. Implementation is coordinated in close contact with the European Commission, and other member states, regional and local authorities, inter-governmental and non-governmental bodies.The Strategy is also welcoming cooperation with EU neighbouring countries (Iceland and Norway). HOW? Activities for implementing the EUSBSR can be, for example, projects (single or grouped in clusters), processes, networks or platforms. No new funding or institutions have been founded to support the implementation of the Strategy, and funding for operations under the Strategy is intended to come from existing financial instruments.
