| Please, briefly describe the CBC activity you wanted to pursue | Cross-border collaboration regarding the environment is functioning well. For example a joint commission was established in 1997 between Estonia and Russia for the protection and sustainable use of bordering water bodies.
The joint commission promotes cooperation between governments, organises the exchange of data from environmental monitoring, broadens the cooperation possibilities between public and scientific organisations, and supports public discussion about problems related to border water bodies |
