The views expressed in this report do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission. The concept The main environmental question of the region is: How to reduce the stream of pollution in the Black Sea? There are 6 countries bordering the Black Sea: Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, and Turkey. Three of them are candidates to the adhesion to European Union; three of them are eligible to the Tacis Programme. The candidate countries and the new member states with the help of the European Union, particularly in the framework of programmes of co-operation in the Danube's catchment, do a lot of efforts. But these efforts should stay insufficient without the same efforts in the NIS. The European Union estimated it should be useful to push these projects and their financing and launched the BSIF Programme. The Black Sea Investment Facility provides studies in aim to facilitate the funding of projects allowing a reduction of the pollution of the Black Sea by the International Financing Institutions. The target groups Beneficiary Countries The beneficiary countries of this investment facility are the three CIS countries bordering the Black Sea (Georgia, Russia and Ukraine), plus Moldova which is also connected to the Black Sea via its river basins.
