Real actions, not ´realistic´ wishes - a recipe for an updated Baltic Sea Action plan

On 6-7 March high-level representatives met at the 40th Meeting of the Helsinki Commission. On this occasion, CCB was grateful to share the concerns of civil society organizations and almost a million individual members of CCB´s network around the Baltic Sea. Our concerns were (and are) connected with continuous and increasing violations of the fundamental principles and provisions of the Helsinki Convention:

• Precautionary principle and science-based management;


• Transparency, trust and sharing information to minimize transboundary impacts;


• Joint measures for reaching joint goals, instead of prioritising actions of "overriding national interest".
