Mr. Šerkšnys (Lithuania) I have the honour to speak on behalf of the three Baltic States Estonia, Latvia and my own country, Lithuania.

UNICEF promoted the Initiative in 50 countries, but expansion was really only evident in the Central and Eastern Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States and Baltic States region (CEE CIS).

Problems of actual or potential statelessness arose in the Baltic States following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia.

These conclusions were subsequently confirmed by the Conference of Baltic Sea States' Ministers responsible for Police Co operation held in Germany in May 2002.

But bad news is emerging from the smaller countries as well, including the Baltic states. Across Central and Eastern Europe, the scene is almost universally depressing.

87. Notes with appreciation the adoption of the Baltic Sea Action Plan, in Krakow, Poland, on 15 November 2007, by the Member States of the Helsinki Commission, the aim of which is to drastically reduce pollution in the Baltic Sea and restore it to a good ecological status by 2021

In view of the suffering of the Baltic States, we have always felt a very special obligation to strongly support their inclusion in the Euro Atlantic community.

When Lithuania and then the other Baltic States Estonia and Latvia which were occupied by Stalin early in WWII, seized their opportunity for freedom in 1990 91, the Kremlin did not sit on its hands. It knew that the rest of Russia s colonies the so called Soviet republics would want to follow the ungrateful Baltic countries into freedom.

Friday, 30 September 2005, from 1.30 to 2.30 p.m. in Conference Room 2 on the Innocenti Insight report entitled Children and Disability in Transition in Central and Eastern Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Baltic States.

We plan to conduct an international sea exercise in the Baltic in 2006.

The Nordic Baltic Task Force against Trafficking in Human Beings has been formed.

Estonia had also hosted the third Baltic Sea Women's Conference Women and Democracy .

b Pacific, Caribbean and CEE CIS Baltic States multi country programmes were counted as one each except countries in emergency situations within the multi country programme with separate expenditure and available indicators.

The example posed by the Baltic nations does not threaten the Kremlin much, because they are perceived as foreign to the Russian psyche. Indeed, in Soviet films, Baltic actors were usually cast in the roles of Nazi generals and American spies.

Poland may find that it has security and other interests in common with some states of a similar size in the current EU. The three Baltic states will most likely cooperate much more closely with the Scandinavian countries than with the other new members.

The Task Force5 was established based on a decision made at the 1st Baltic Sea States Summit in Sweden in 1996 due to an urgent need for direct and concerted action to combat organised crime .

Estonia actively participates in the fight against trafficking in human beings in the Nordic and Baltic region.

Its gas blackmail of Ukraine frightened the entire Continent, and its new Baltic pipeline to Germany has provoked howls of outrage from Poland and the Baltic states, which are angry at losing the economic and political dividends a land route gives them. They are also fearful that Russia will use the energy weapon against them in the future, once the new pipeline allows the Kremlin to do so without affecting Western Europe.

The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia and parts of Poland share a common legacy of Mitteleuropa , formed during the Hapsburg Empire. Moreover, communism in those states was different than that practiced in the three Baltic countries, which were part of the Soviet Union.

The former communist world made those choices 20 years ago. But very different choices for better and for worse were made in Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia, in the Baltic states, across the former Soviet Union, in Central Asia, and in East Germany.

The UK, Spain, and Ireland are experiencing similar developments, with housing bubbles deflating and excessive consumer debt undercutting retail sales, thus leading to recession. Even in Italy, France, Greece, Portugal, Iceland, and the Baltic states, frothy housing markets are starting to slacken.

Cooperation on combating violence against women in the Nordic Baltic region had been intensive and fruitful, spawning numerous projects on various topics.

Some, like Poland and the Baltic states, have consistently denounced Russia's actions and have demanded a firm response. But, elsewhere in the region, leaders were quick to excuse Russia's invasion and annexation of Crimea, or to argue that Russia is simply too powerful to confront.

In parallel with the Scandinavian crisis, communism collapsed in Eastern Europe in 1989 and in 1991 in the Baltic states. Poland s first post communist finance minister, Leszek Balcerowicz, showed an amazed world how communism could be abolished and a market economy built almost instantly.

As the Soviet Union steadily disintegrated, with virtually all of its 15 republics straining at the leash, Yeltsin gained the leadership of the largest the Russian Federation which placed him in a tactical alliance with independence campaigners in Ukraine, the Baltic states, and Georgia.
