Cooperation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment with Poland
With Poland's accession to the European Union in 2004, an important prerequisite was created to align the legal bases and their implementation along the Oder-Neisse border and to develop both sides of the Oder region together.
The cooperation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Climate Protection of the State of Brandenburg (MLUK) with its Polish partners, which has been existing for many years, has since then taken on a new dimension. This cooperation must be developed jointly in the interest of sustainable development of the German-Polish interdependent region.
The cooperation between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Poland is based on the Treaty on Good Neighbourhood of 17 June 1991. This cross-border contractual arrangement is supplemented by numerous bilateral cooperation agreements. There is cooperation in various working bodies in the fields of rural development, environment, nature conservation and agriculture. The Environmental Administration of the State of Brandenburg actively participates in the work of the German-Polish committees under the leadership of the Federal Ministry for the Environment (BMU). These include the German-Polish Environmental Council as well as the Neighbourhood, Border Waters and Oderschutzkommission (IKSO) with its diverse working groups.
The ministry's ongoing regional cooperation with Poland focuses on the three voivodships near the border:
- Lubusz Land - Lubuskie
- West Pomerania - Zachodniopomorskie
- Greater Poland - Wielkopolskie
Multi-year work programmes established cooperation with the Polish partner institutions. For several years, the German-Polish "Project Group for International Cooperation in Rural Development, Environment, Nature Conservation and Agriculture - PIZLEUNL" has been coordinating and supporting cross-border technical work and various projects.
PIZLEUNL developed action plans to make the cooperation binding and in accordance with current needs. The regular exchange of experts, joint workshops and excursions, joint participation in events and hospitations are the most important elements of these agreements. Furthermore, the partners cooperate within the framework of INTERREG-A projects.
The Ministry supports project actors in the State of Brandenburg who cooperate with Polish partners. Funding can be applied for this purpose.
The MLUK participates in the cooperation activities of the State Government of Brandenburg with the Lower Silesian Voivodeship.
