lpv:translated text	". Ladies and gentlemen, on 1 May 2004 the European Union’s border moved eastward and northward. This has entailed a great many new challenges, which is why actions and projects like the Northern Dimension of the European Union are crucial in this context. The aim of multilateral regional cooperation between the EU Member States in the Baltic region is to create conditions that are conducive to social and economic development and to political stability in this region. The European Union now has an internal sea for the first time in its history. I should like to take this opportunity to draw the House’s attention to the particular political significance of this initiative. After all, the Northern Dimension countries are located at the point where the European Union meets the East, by which I mean that they share borders with such key partners as Russia and Belarus. The region could therefore play a crucial role in implementing a project of special value, namely close and multifaceted cooperation between the EU and Russia. The Northern Dimension will have a favourable impact on economic cooperation and infrastructure building, and the stepping up of cooperation in the field of home affairs and justice is likely to increase security where cross-border issues are concerned. Attention should also be paid to the environmental benefits to be gained from the Northern Dimension, which covers a valuable and sensitive ecosystem. In view of this fact, cooperation should therefore be promoted in the spheres of environmental protection and sustainable development. The Baltic or North European gas pipeline project has been the source of much controversy, and it remains a key issue to be resolved. None of the governments of the Baltic Sea countries were consulted in any way on the decision to construct this pipeline, and this decision poses a major threat to the energy security of many countries. We must not allow weaker countries to be discriminated against, and we must not allow actions to be taken that damage their interests. If we fail to do so, the Northern Dimension will remain pure theory and bear no relation to reality. The Baltic gas pipeline project also represents a huge threat to the environment in the Baltic Sea region."@en1
