CHRISTMAS GREETINGS

	Gunnar Norén, Coalition Clean Baltic, Executive Secretary As the best Christmas present for all Baltic citizens, I wish a swimming and jumping salmon in all the Baltic rivers as a symbol of healthy Baltic Sea environment.
	Nina Ljungquist, Swedish Society for Nature Conservation / Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen I wish Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. I am longing for co-operation in the new financial situation when it is difficult for some people to take full part in the CCB activities. I really wish that we could find funding to create projects that would involve all these people who have shown so much interest for so many years and have done such a devoted job.
	Jakub Szumin, Green Federation, GAJA, Poland I wish the CCB friends the best successes. I wish more concrete effects, more active work in the nature.
	Antanas Kontautas, Environmental Club Zvejone Lithuanian Green Movement I wish everyone quite time, end to the reporting period, festive mood during holidays, beautiful spruces, nice holidays with your families, and all the best to your families and to your children.
	Aija Caune, Latvian Environmental Protection Club (VAK) For the coming year I wish to all CCB member organisations even closer co-operation, even better understanding of each other and stronger support to each other in our common work for better environment. If we understand each other and fight together for our common idea, we will reach our common goal.
	Elita Kalnina, Latvian Environmental Protection Club (VAK) After the EU enlargement I was afraid that CCB activities will weaken. Now I feel that this did not happen. We have found new ways for joint activities. I wish the friendly CCB family flourishing and successes for many years ahead.
	Maret Merisaar, CCB Water Policy Officer, Estonian Green Movement For the New Year I wish everyone all the best, specifically, clean water. And in addition to this, I wish better understanding and better co-operation between all NGOs. The conference in Tallinn that just happened is an example of such good co-operation.
	Taavi Nuum, Estonian Green Movement I wish all the CCB members during the Christmas period to take your time to be with your friends and our great friend Nature. Leave your beautiful homes and go to nature and see how Christmas looks like in forests or on coasts of the Baltic Sea. Do not spend too much time eating, watching TV and looking for gifts from markets. Better stay more outdoors, in the Nature, because usually in our work we have lack of time to be with the Nature.
	Olga Senova, Friends of the Baltic, Russia I wish good luck in the coming year for all CCB members. I wish all CCB friends many victories in the places where they work, on river banks, on Baltic coasts. I wish that our small victories sum up together to give considerable result. I wish that more common people become aware of the need to care about the Baltic Sea.
	Sergey Anatskiy, Baltic Federation of Fishermen, Russia I wish all the CCB members to forget everything bad that happened in the past year, and to remember everything good. I wish even greater successes in the coming year in the activities for the benefit of the Baltic Sea environment.
