Wólczańska 215, e-mail: [email protected] Key words: European Union, regional policy, Euroregion, structural funds, ecology Abstract The objective of the paper is to present ecological measures for marine environment protection financed by the EU within Euroregional structures. For this purpose the paper is divided into two parts. The first part concerns the Euroregions’ position and mission based on the origin of Euroregion Baltic and its special features. The second part concerns selected measures aimed to protect marine environment financed from the EU assistance funds. The primary conclusion is as follows: Euroregional structures were crucial as regards the acquisition of development funds while the EU’s involvement in ecological development and the specific features of Euroregions have led to the implementation of ecological measures. They have directly or indirectly contributed to marine environment protection. Słowa kluczowe: Unia Europejska, polityka regionalna, euroregion, fundusze strukturalne, ekologia Abstrakt Celem opracowania było przedstawienie działań ekologicznych na rzecz ochrony środowiska morskiego fi- nansowanych z UE w strukturach euroregionalnych. Dla jego realizacji przyjęto konstrukcję opracowania składającego się z dwóch części. Pierwsza z nich dotyczyła istoty i misji euroregionów z uwzględnieniem ge- nezy Euroregionu Bałtyk i specyfiki jego funkcjonowania u wybrzeży wód Bałtyku. Druga część dotyczyła opisu wybranych przedsięwzięć mających na celu ochronę środowiska morskiego, a realizowanych ze środ- ków pomocowych UE. Zasadniczy wniosek, który nasuwa się przy realizacji powyższego tematu, jest nastę- pujący: struktura euroregionalna odegrała istotną rolę w pozyskiwaniu funduszy rozwojowych. Natomiast za- angażowanie UE w rozwój ekologiczny i specyfika obszarów euroregionalnych powodowały, iż były reali- zowane przedsięwzięcia ekologiczne. Służyły one bądź bezpośrednio, bądź pośrednio ochronie środowiska morskiego.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Economics and Finance 39 ( 2016 ) 235 – 241 3rd GLOBAL CONFERENCE on BUSINESS, ECONOMICS, MANAGEMENT and TOURISM, 26-28 November 2015, Rome, Italy The development of cross-border cooperation in an EU macroregion – a case study of the Baltic Sea Region Tomasz Studzienieckia* aGdynia Maritime University, 80-225 Gdynia (Poland) Abstract The Baltic Sea Region became an EU testing ground for international cooperation. This article presents the origin and the typologies of this cooperation. Macroregional, territorial and cross-border cooperation was discussed. The main aim of this article was to analyse the key determinants of the development of cross-border cooperation in the BSR, an EU macroregion. Based on literature studies, the BSR was delimited, proposing a definition of this area that is the most beneficial from economic point of view. Having performed an analysis of documents and economic data, it was proven that macroregional cooperation supports territorial cooperation in the BSR in a significant way. For this purpose, the financing devices of territorial cooperation, i.e. cross- border, transnational and interregional cooperation programmes, were analysed. It was proven that the priorities of these programmes comply with the priorities of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region. Furthermore, an attempt was made to analyse the organisational resources of cross-border cooperation, with particular focus on Euroregions and European groupings of territorial cooperation. A diagnosis of the state was made based on secondary and primary data obtained from interviews.

  • ERB Action Plan 2020-2021 Final
    EUROREGION BALTIC ACTION PLAN 2020 - 21 Elbląg, 12th February 2020 2020-21_ERB_Action_Plan 1 Background Established in 1998 Euroregion Baltic (ERB), is a politically solid and well-anchored cross- border cooperation platform in the south-east of the Baltic Sea region, representing regional authorities and associations of local authorities in nine regions in five countries – Denmark, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden and Russia. Euroregion Baltic (ERB) Action Plan for 2020-21 was adopted on 12th February 2020 at the beginning of the new presidency within the organisation assumed by the Association of Polish Communes to Euroregion Baltic from Poland. The plan foresees actions for 2020 and 2021, while Blekinge Region presidency. The Action Plan is elaborated on a bi-annual basis to streamline better stakeholders’ resources and concretise results they expect from ERB cooperation, also from longer-term strategic actions, while at the same time to allow better reporting on the achievements after one year. Vision and mission of Euroregion Baltic by 2030 The ERB 2030 Agenda builds on the achievements of the first 20 years of successful cooperation and provides an updated strategic framework by defining the vision for Euroregion Baltic. The Euroregion’s mission is, therefore, to undertake joint initiatives aiming at strengthening and promoting cooperation among the local and regional authorities of the Parties of the Agreement, as well as contributing to the sustainable development of the Baltic Sea Region, with particular focus on the South Baltic area. 2020-21_ERB_Action_Plan 2 ERB cooperation is built around three main types of activities: ➢ Lobbying activities to represent and promote common interests; ➢ Implementation of strategic initiatives and projects complementing the local and regional agendas of the member organisations; ➢ Exchange activities, to seek a collaborative approach to common challenges and to progress in innovation and operational efficiency of the cooperation.
