REC: The Bulletin 8.3: Credits

The quarterly magazine of the Regional Environmental Center
for Central and Eastern Europe (REC)

The Bulletin is the quarterly magazine of the Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe (REC). The Bulletin assists the REC to fulfil its mission, namely to promote public participation in environmental decision-making by providing information on the environment and encouraging cooperation among regional stakeholders. By supporting environmental non-governmental organisations, local authorities, national governments, academic institutions, the media and businesses in 15 Central and Eastern European countries, the REC hopes to act as a catalyst for developing solutions to environmental problems and to promote the development of civil society in the region.

The REC was established in 1990 by the United States, the European Commission and Hungary. Today, the REC is legally based on a Charter signed by the governments of 25 countries and the European Commission, and on an International Agreement with the Government of Hungary. The REC has its head office in Szentendre, Hungary and Local Offices in each of its 15 beneficiary CEE countries which are: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, FYR Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Yugoslavia. Recent donors are the European Commission and the governments of the United States, Japan, Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as well as other inter-governmental and private institutions.
