	The Role of the Council of Baltic Sea States in Promoting Regional Cooperation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The establishment of the Council of the Baltic Sea States in 1992 by Hans-Dietrich Genscher and Uffe Ellemann-Jensen, was inspired by the desire to utilize this political and economic potential with a view to developing science and improving the infrastructure and supporting European integration.
		From the outset, the CBSS was a valued symbol of the emerging New Europe and the policy aimed at abolishing the lines that had divided the continent for so long.
