EEA Consultative Committee recommends setting up a Baltic Sea Civil Society Forum and promotes green jobs

The EEA Consultive Committee recommended on 26 May 2009 setting up a consultative 'Baltic Sea Civil Society Forum' to ensure the involvement of civil society and social partner organisation, including of non-EU member states, in the European Union's Baltic Sea Strategy.

The Consultative Committee also highlighted the devastating impact that climate change and the recent financial crisis have had on our economies and societies and underlined the importance of combating both crises simultaneously.
