ENVCEE-L is a new Listserv sponsored by The Regional Environmental Center for
Central and Eastern Europe (REC), a non-profit foundation based in Budapest,
Hungary. ENVCEE-L is distinguished by the quality and interest of its
information and the significant participation by groups in the region.
ENVCEE-L includes information about the Baltic countries, Belarus, Ukraine,
and Russia.
The REC was established in 1990 by Hungary, the U.S., and the European
Community to promote cooperation among environmental groups and to promote the
development of a civil society. Besides its headquarters in Budapest, it also
has offices in Warsaw, Bratislava, Bucharest, and Sofia.
ENVCEE-L is only a month old, so it is still adapting to the responses of its
subscribers, but its first few weeks have been very promising. In the last
couple of weeks it has included:
- an announcement of an international congress on hazardous waste in Atlanta
sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services
- a request by an environmental organization in Russia for information about a
corporation in Finland that is negotiating with the Russian government about a
possible contract
- a Greenpeace news release on a recent verdict of the Austrian Supreme Court
about PVC
- an announcement of a new Listserv on Environmentally Conscious Design and
Manufacturing sponsored by the University of Windsor in Canada
One the most interesting aspects of ENVCEE-L is that list moderator, Rossen
Roussev, regularly posts to the list a variety of information bulletins,
including:
- EcoDefense
- Baltic Sea Region Environmental News Bulletin which is published by an environmental organization of the same name in Kaliningrad. EcoDefense
includes: news about environmental organizations in Scandinavia, the Baltics
States, Poland and Germany; reports on environmental projects undertaken by
governments in the region; opinion pieces and even book reviews--two American
Peace Corps volunteers have written a guide book to the Bieszczady mountains
in south-east Poland.
- Fax-Postup
- a weekly summary of news from Ukraine, which is published by Post-Postup in Lviv. A recent issue of Fax-Postup included news about: the Crimean
parliament, the national budget, a real-estate auction in Kharkiv,
privatization efforts in Luhansk, and a threatened rail strike in the Donetsk
region.
The Environmental Cooperation Bulletin produced by Kompass Resources International.
In the last couple of weeks ENVCEE-L has averaged 2-3 messages a day, which
total around 40-50,000 bytes a week.
