	95-03-09: Statement by Nordic Council, Mr. Sten Svensson (EN)
		As the representative of the Nordic council I should like to direct your attention to the final document adopted by the council's international conference in Helsinki in January, where it is said that - The international community should see the alleviation of misery and the eradication of extreme poverty as its most urgent task.

		The view of the Nordic Council is that the Nordic welfare model and the expertise possessed by Nordic institutions in the social welfare and health care fields could contribute to positive developments in the Baltic Sea region.

		The Nordic Council with its cultural and political cooperation was founded in 1952 as a collaborative forum for the Nordic parliaments and the Nordic governments as compensation for the lack of a political security arrangement.
		An informal Nordic security policy community existed during the entire Cold War, and as a result the Nordic states did not only act in the interests of their alliance partners, but also, to a large extent, in the common Nordic interests when the two appeared to be at odds.
		The Nordic area is extending eastward and its centre is shifting from the western to the eastern or Baltic Sea sphere, with its links to the response of the Continent.

	Ravenna Proposed Ethanol Plant Questions & Answers
		Nordic biofuels intends to provide as much information about their proposed ethanol plant to the public as is possible and reasonable.

		Nordic biofuels has made no "demands" on the community or the city council, rather it has offered an opportunity that community representatives believed would be attractive and which they have agreed to fully research.
