Danish - Lithuanian Environmental Co-operation 1991-2000
Chapter 14
The sectorintegrated environmental assistance
Protection and improvement of the environment cannot only be seen as an isolated
environmental task. The environmental conditions are dependent on and influenced by all
the different sectors in the society. Therefore, the countries around the Baltic Sea
adopted in 1998 the Environmental Sector Programmes. The objective of the programme is to
support sustainable development in all sectors in the Baltic Sea area and to assist in the
adaptation to EU legislation and the establishment of implementing systems.
The overall objective of the SectorIntegrated Environment Assistance in the Baltic
region is to promote environmental sustainable development based on market economy
principles in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and the Russian regions of St. Petersburg
and Kaliningrad. The programme builds on objectives set in the Baltic Agenda 21, rooted in
Global Agenda 21 and the Rio Conference in 1992 and adopted by the countries around the
Baltic Sea in 1998. The assistance focuses on environmental issues in specific sectors.
The activities of the sectorintegrated environment programme are schedules as
partnerships between a range of Danish Ministries or government agencies and their
colleagues in recipient countries. The programmes are assisted and co-ordinated by the
DEPA and the Lithuanian Ministry of Environment. The programmes are further - depending on
needs - being implemented in a close co-operation with the DANCEE programme.
The decentralised scheme of this assistance ensures a close integration of
environmental sustainability into the general sector development.
The Danish authorities administering the Sector Programmes and the allocations from the
different programmes are:
