	Final Report
		Some regions rely heavily on tourism, and the risk exists that such regions develop a “monostructure” where a major part of the workforce is relying on only one trade.
		Although the rural regions in the Baltic Sea area have much in common they differ very much in economic and social development, which presumably is due to the fact that the development of a given region is determined by a multitude of parameters (factors).
		A regional producer group is aimed at offering local farmers a regional market for their produce as well as a regional identity and a source of individual stories of human interest to tell the consumer- one from each of the producers.

		Regions and regional identity have not only become important topics in debates on the future of Europe but also a number of geographers have considered their general meanings in social and cultural life, particularly since the early 1980s.
		Rather, regions are always part of this very action, and therefore they are social constructs that are created in political, economic and cultural administrative practices and discourses.
		The construction of regions and territories is part of the perpetual transformation of the spatial system, in which regions emerge, exist for some time and may finally disappear.

	Appeal for the forests of Southern Finland - www.metsavetoomus.fi
		We the undersigned require that by 2010 Finland raise the amount of protected forest in South Finland, as well as that of poorly protected parts of the country's northernmost regions Oulu and Lapland, to five per cent, and in the longer term to ten per cent, of the country's forested land.
		Around 1500 km2 of forest is clearcut annually in Finland; this needs to be balanced by increased protection, as well as more widespread use of environmentally benign forestry methods in commercial stands.
		Currently only around two per cent of forests are protected in the region covering all the provinces of South Finland, Pohjanmaa, SW Kainuu, and SW Lapland.
