Issue group on Environmental Action Programme for CEE (EAP) was established in September 2000 along with our other issue groups. Its main focus was to follow and provide input for the implementation of the EAP in countries of former Soviet bloc (now called EECCA = Eastern Europe, Caucasus, Central Asia). The issue group is coordinated by Olga Ponizova from Eco Accord in Russia who is also a co-chair of the European ECO Forum.
