In October 2009, EU Member States agreed on EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region. One of the four cornerstones of the Strategy is to make the Baltic Sea Region a Safe and Secure Place. Implementation of the Strategy has started. The focus of this workshop is to show the positive effects that the projects have on making the Baltic Region a safe and secure place together with protecting the maritime environment. The approach is practical and down to earth.
