Page 4 - Mr. Chairman, I thank you again for calling this hearing. And I look very much forward to hearing what suggestions the witnesses have as to take these relationships even further.
Page 12 - To begin with, we feel that Sweden made some modest contributions to the development of the program. In early 2003 we handed over a food-for-thought on opportunities for future cooperation with the United States in the Baltic Sea region. This paper landed at the right time with the process underway and the State Department in Heather Conley's bureau. We are happy to note that some of our ideas were well received, and are reflected in the e-PINE structure.
Page 11 - Like our own programs, e-PINE builds on previous efforts and experiences. Our region did not turn into an area of good news in a world of bad news by accident. The Nordic countries have had the extensive cooperation with the Baltic countries even before they regained their independence.
Page 6 - The Nordic/Baltic region is truly a region, a group of countries who share geography and interest in ideas, and that build up structures that enhance their cooperation.
Page 12 - Several activities are also conducted under the auspices of the Barents, Euro-Arctic Council, and the Council of the Baltic Sea States.
Page 7 - Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Six of the eight are members of NATO, six will be members of the European Union following EU expansion on May 1.
Page 13 - Sweden believes that the most important area to focus on is the countries neighboring the e-PINE area to the east. This means in particular Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, and also Russia and the former Soviet Republic of the Caucasus and Central Asia.
Page 11 - I would like to commend you for your leadership of this Committee. You have always been a champion of transatlantic relations.
Page 6 - In most of these regional structures, such as the Council of Baltic Sea States and the Barents Euro-Arctic Council, the United States is an observer.
Page 13 - Consequently, we do not think that e-PINE should concern itself primarily with projects exclusively within the e-PINE area, but rather promoting cooperation and tackling issues of concern to all of us, including our eastern neighbors.
