 The EU strategy for the Baltic Sea Region is being officially presented in the various member states on the 10 June 2009.
At the BSSSC meeting on the 18 May the strategy was top of the agenda. The attached "from the facilitator" covers the key issues. 
The strategy will probably form the basis for deciding how EU macro regional funding will be directed after 2013. It will certainly cover wht the EU considers are the key regional issues to address in the coming years. |

Rügen has a new head of the environment department: Jan Trenkmann . He also represents Rügen in the B7 WG Environment.
 Der neue Leiter des Umweltamtes des Landkreises Rügen heißt Jan Trenkmann. Diese Entscheidung hat der Kreisausschuss Rügen auf seiner letzten Sitzung getroffen, nachdem die Stelle innerbetrieblich ausgeschrieben worden war.
Jan Trenkmann tritt die Nachfolge von Dr. Bodo Noack an, der Anfang April in den Ruhestand gegangen ist. Der 38-Jährige hat von 1991 bis
1994 an der Fachhochschule für Öffentliche Verwaltung in Güstrow studiert und den Abschluss als Diplom-Verwaltungswirt erworben. Danach war er zunächst mehrere Jahre im Bauamt der Kreisverwaltung tätig, bevor er ins Umweltamt wechselte. Hier beschäftigte er sich vor allem mit der Bearbeitung von Widersprüchen und Ordnungswidrigkeiten. Darüber hinaus war er als Stellvertreter des Amtsleiters mit allen wesentlichen Sachverhalten und Entwicklungen befasst, die im Umweltamt auf der Tagesordnung standen.

Transplan Midway Conference 26-29 April on Gotland |
|
Written by David Hunt
|
|
 The B7 Islands and Sardinia have reach the half way stage in the Transplan project. The islands have:
- researched the sources and uses of energy
- developed politically agreed energy strategies
- developed plans to implement their strategies
- applied for money for projects to aid strategy implementation
Now is the time to take stock, to check the current sources and uses of energy and to gain inspiration on how each island can continue to work towards being CO2 neutral.
Transplan has grown from being a peripheral, maybe interesting project, to being a core policy area for the B7 islands and Sardinia. Project leader Louise Lyng Bojesen together with Bengt-Olof Grahn will be running the midway conference.
The project is financed by the EU Intelligent Energy Fund and the B7 together with the particpating islands. (Programme ) |

 Dr. Bodo Noack in den Ruhstand verabschiedet
Nach 19 Jahren als Amtsleiter in der Kreisverwaltung Rügen hat Dr. Bodo Noack sich nun in den Ruhestand verabschiedet. Im Kreise von Kollegen, Leitern anderer Behörden und Vertretern von Verbänden blickte der studierte Meeres- und Fischereibiologe, der 1970 nach Rügen kam, auf seine Zeit als Umweltamtsleiter beim Landkreis zurück.
Ihm habe die Arbeit Spaß gemacht, resümiert er. Auch, wenn sein Amt das eine oder andere Mal als „Verhinderungsbehörde" bezeichnet wurde. „Zum Teil stimmt das sogar", schmunzelt er und fügt hinzu, dass er zu den von ihm getroffenen Entscheidungen stehe. Zum Beispiel, wenn es darum ging, große Bauten in freier Landschaft zu verhindern. Gerade Anfang der 90er Jahre, als er seine Tätigkeit beim Landkreis aufgenommen und die Landesgesetzgebung noch Lücken hatte, wollten Investoren unzählige solcher Bauvorhaben durchsetzen. Allein 15 Golfplätze sollten es sein, erinnert er sich.

A living canvas - maritime views, fresh ideas Alandica is a new purpose-built facility for all sorts of events, both large and small.
Alandica's designers, the Danish architects Kjaer & Richter, were inspired by Åland's unique maritime nature. Named "Three Islands", its airy and harmonious Scandinavian structure consists of three island-like buildings joined together by a glass-partitioned lobby.
Alandica's unique setting vibrates throughout the building. The surrounding magnificent maritime landscape
stimulates ideas, while spacious facilities, modern technology and professional service respond to the most exacting needs. See http://www.kultur.ax/alandica.htm

Progress Update: Baltic Sea Strategy |
|
Written by David Hunt
|
|
Progress update from BSSSC Board Member Knud Andersen, working with the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region. Below is an extract from his letter.
 "I have also been invited to present our position paper to the European Parliament's Baltic Europe Intergroup on the 22nd of April. The Baltic Europe Intergroup is a group of MEPs from across the political spectrum from the states bordering the Baltic Sea, who meet in the European Parliament to discuss issues of relevance to the Baltic Sea Region. It is therefore a good opportunity to discuss our views on the Baltic Sea Strategy with members
of the European Parliament.
The work with the Strategy is continuing. The first draft of the action plan for the Strategy will be discussed between DG Regio and the Member States during meetings the following weeks...."
