CCB • April 19, 2007
On 19-20 April 2007 a Meeting of High-Level Representatives from Ministries of Agriculture and Environment of the Baltic Sea Region countries (CBSS) will take place in Saltsjöbaden, Sweden. The meeting title: Land and Sea: more cooperation, less eutrophication, will discuss measures to reduce the heavy nutrient load (50% of the total N&P- load to the Baltic Sea) from the Baltic agricultural sector.
