In February of 1997 they organised in Malbork an international conference on creation of an Euroregion under the working name ..Jantar" ('Amber'). Representatives of local authorities and regional organs of governmental administration from six countries: Denmark. Sweden. Lithuania. Latvia and Russia, as well as from four Polish northern voivodeships (provinces): of Słupsk. Gdańsk. Elbląg and Olsztyn, decided to establish closer economic and cultural links. One year later the idea of the Euroregion was brought to life. Membership and area of the Euroregion ' THE BALTIC SEA' are open and may be fiirther chansed if the Parties agree. The co-operation aims are to be implemented by supporting transborder projects for economc growth and agreements in such fields as industry, agriculture and forestry, transport and con munication. exchange of know-how and transfer of technologies, environmental protection an fight against criminality. Moreover, such aims are to profit from implementation of joint communal projects in borderlands.
