BALTIC AGRICULTURAL RUN-OFF ACTION PROGRAMME

The Baltic Sea Environmental Action Programme adopted by Helsinki Commission in 1992 is a long term programme of policy and institutional reforms, institutional strengthening, human resource development and infrastructure investments to restore the ecological balance of the Baltic Sea.

The whole Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Kaliningrad and St.Petersburg regions (Russia) and part of Poland  lies within the Baltic Sea catchment's area. Pollution and their transformation products reaching the water bodies within Baltic States will end up in the Baltic Sea. In these states exist eight hot spots concerning agricultural runoff that are listed in the Joint Comprehensive Environmental Action Programme.
