Proposal for environment sector initiatives in the transport area

In May 1997 the Danish Government presented a new strategy for support for Eastern Europe. The new strategy includes the setting up of a regional environmental effort integrated across sectors in the Baltic region, where the development of for instance the energy, industry, agricultural, forestry and transport sectors must take place on an environmentally sustainable basis.

The sector programme for the transport area springs from the Agenda 21 recommendations, and is part of the implementation of the Baltic Agenda 21 action plan for sustainable transport; the programme is also a continuation of the 1998 programme. Emphasis has been placed on ensuring a long-term effort through the programme.Environment, Agenda 21, Eastern Europe.
