| | NATO Colloquium 1997: Economic Cooperation in the Eastern Baltic Sea Region: A Finnish View |
| | The idea that the Baltic sea rim might be a distinct economic region seems to go back to the idea of a new Hanseatic league, raised by the (Social Democratic) regional leaders of Northern Germany as a counterweight to the perceived southerly orientation of (Christian Democratic) Germany. | | | One of the possible routes for Russian gas would be via Finland to Germany either through the Baltics or utilising the Baltic Sea seabed. | | | Inter alia, this arises from the 1,300 km of common border. |

| | Presently the Baltic Sea Alliance joins together the secretariats of the Baltic Sea States Subregional Cooperation (BSSSC), the Union of the Baltic Cities (UBC) and the Baltic Sea Chambers of Commerce Association (BCCA). | | | The purpose of the Baltic Sea Alliance is to join forces on state, regional and local level in order to facilitate communication and information flow in the Baltic Sea Region. | | | The challenge is to create a democratic information society, without dividing the people to those who have access to information and to those who have not. |

| | Baltic Regional Security Challenges |
| | For the U.S., NATO of course remains the guarantor of security in Europe, and therefore in the Baltic Sea. | | | Speaking in Warsaw last year, President Bush noted that the key mission of our alliance is "
to fight against those who would try to defeat freedom." Defeating freedom is, of course, the terrorists' aim. | | | Just under two years ago, America's sense of security was shaken to its core by the attacks of 9/11. |
