Gender Equality takes a new
leap in UBC
During the last meeting of the UBC Executive Board in Gävle,
Sweden, in March 2007 the resolution to re-vitalize the
UBC-EU Network passed. Although established several years
ago, it was inactive for about three years as no city wanted
to take the responsibility to manage this work.
 Currently,
the Hanseatic City of Rostock, Germany, is undertaking this
task. The Europäisches In-tegrationszentrum-Rostocke.V.(EIZ)will
be here the competent point of contact. The EIZ presented
the idea of the re-viving the UBC-EU-Network already at
the 47th Meeting of the Executive Board in Gdynia,
19 -20 October 2006.
The EIZ will now start the work and will
contact the UBC member cities. These contacts will be the
first step to find partners who are willing to actively
support the networking.
The first meet ing for discussing further steps of cooperation
with the UBC Antenna and other interested cities is planned
for 27 - 29 June 2007 in Rostock. We plan to concentrate
our work around:
- Information about the implementation of the Lisbon Strategy
in the Baltic Sea Region,
- Information about the imple mentation of the Plan D
in the Baltic Sea Region,
- Information about examples of "Best Practices"
in the Baltic Sea Region,
- Strengthening the continual Pub lic Relations for the
benefit of the UBC.
We look forward to receiving more suggestions
and requests from cities on a well-functioning UBC-EU Network.
Do not hesitate to contact us and to make your own proposals!
We are still under formation and will be glad to hear from
you!
