  • Promote cooperation on improving the air quality in the border area between Bulgaria and Romania. 
  • Provide air quality data for solving disputes on cross border transport of air pollution. 
  • Provide “on-line “ data for a public information system and to promote public awareness. 
  • All data from one side of the border river shall be available “on-line” for the air quality departments and the population on the other side of the border.
