HELCOM - 13-та зустріч Групи зі сталого ведення сільського господарства

The European Commission organised the 2nd edition of the Our Baltic Conference in Palanga (Lithuania) on 29 September 2023. This high-level event brought together ministers from the 8 EU countries surrounding the Baltic Sea (Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Finland and Sweden).

Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries Virginijus Sinkevičius and ministers looked at what has been achieved since the first Our Baltic Conference in 2020, and what still needs to be done.

The main topics were:
- environment & fisheries - progress made on the actions announced in the Ministerial Declaration of the 2020 Our Baltic conference
- economic activities linked to the sea ('blue economy') - finding ways to allow activities at sea to flourish (e.g. offshore renewable energy, aquaculture, bioeconomy, etc.)
- unexploded munitions
