The urbanisation rate varies between 58 % in Estonia, 62 % in Poland and Finland, 86 % in Sweden and 91 % in St. Petersburg Oblast (figures from 1992/93, the VASAB 2010 report).
Annual budget of about DKK2–22.5 million, which is also to cover costs relating to the VASAB Secretariat in Gdansk.
Sweden, Finland, Germany and Denmark have formulated a common Operational programme for the Baltic Sea Region, which was submitted to the European Commission, DG XVI, in February 1997. The Programme was formulated in close collaboration with Norway and the VASAB committee (the VASAB Secretariat participates in all INTERREG II C meetings as an observer). It is expected that negotiations concerning the Programme for the Baltic Sea Region will be concluded during the summer, so that the application deadline for the first projects can be set in early autumn 1997.
