* Northern Dimension

# the Council programme may enable member states to focus Council discussion on issues of particular national / regional interest ( e. g.: Finland and the Northern Dimension initiative )

The Northern Dimension addresses the specific challenges and opportunities arising in those regions and aims to strengthen dialogue and co-operation between the EU and its member states, the northern countries associated with the EU under the European Economic Area ( Norway and Iceland ) and Russia.

The Northern Dimension is implemented within the framework of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement with Russia.

Several key priority themes for dialogue and co-operation under the Northern Dimension have been identified, including the followings.

The Northern Dimension is intended to promote security and stability in the region, as well as helping build a safe, clean and accessible environment for all people in the north.

The Northern Dimension is also intended to take advantage of the rich potential of the region, for example in terms of natural resources, economic dynamism, and a rich cultural heritage.

Besides, the Northern Dimension also has the objectives of addressing the challenges arising from uneven regional development, and helping avoid the emergence of new dividing lines in Europe following EU enlargement.

With the enlargement of the Union on 1 May 2004 to include Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, the importance of the Northern Dimension has increased considerably: eight EU Member States ( Denmark, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Sweden ) surround the Baltic Sea, and the EU ’ s shared border with Russia has lengthened.
