		The purpose of this paper is to consider the BSEC experience in seeking an answer to whether regional economic cooperation in the broader sense could lead to any trade creation/diversion effects even when the cooperating partners do not liberalize their trade policy among themselves and/or harmonize their policy towards third parties.

		BSEC will be able to play an important role in this all, as it is a forum that has both an established structure and is open to developing itself.

		In a couple of weeks, the active biography of BSEC will reach 14 years: a short period of time in terms of chronology, but a significant one due to the several achievements accumulated since the foundation of this initiative of regional cooperation in June 1992.
		BSEC was able to gradually build a new culture of cooperation, in the spirit of its Charter, stipulating “the common vision of regional cooperation as a part of the integration process in Europe, based on human rights and fundamental freedoms, prosperity through economic liberty, social justice and equal security and stability”.
		At the same time, the BSEC community faces a series of major obstacles to its generous and timely needed projects of development, from asymmetrical risks (organized crime, illegal trafficking, terrorism etc.) to “frozen conflicts” in various parts of the region.

	Berdal Aral, The Black Sea Economic Cooperation after Ten Years: What Went Wrong?
		The BSEC was transformed into a regional economic organization with an international legal identity when member states adopted a Charter in Yalta on June 5, 1998 which was ratified by the respective parliaments by May 1,1999.
		The BSEC experience shows that, states which share common frontiers or are part of the same geographical basin may consider mutual or multilateral controversies and disputes as cause for action, rather than as excuse for keeping relations at a minimum.
		At least in theory, the BSEC may, in part, be considered as an extension of the former economic partnership between the ex-Soviet Union and the ex-communist states in the Balkans.

		Although the BSEC was founded as an organization focusing on economic cooperation, its founding members emphasized the need for peaceful settlement of disputes and conflicts, as stated in the 1992 Bosporus Declaration, because "the region is already faced by serious conflicts and...there is the danger of new tensions arising."
		At the time of its foundation, some BSEC members were actively engaged in armed conflicts, such as Armenia and Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh; Turkey and Greece stood at the brink of war on several occasions in the Aegean Sea; and Russia was involved in conflicts in Georgia and Moldova.
		Another reason the BSEC has acquired little influence is that some of its members were either already EU members (in the case of Greece) or anticipated EU membership in the near future (Bulgaria, Romania, and possibly Turkey).
