130 Danube Pollution Reduction Programme – National Review, Ukraine The long-term objectives (for period to 2015) should be: harmonization of the Ukrainian and European Community (EC) legislation; organization of the legislative and economical substantiation of the water resources management based on the basin principle. International obligations of Ukraine Referring to Ukraine, it should be emphasized that development of National Environmental Strategy of Ukraine is now at the last phase of elaboration. The key document - “Main Directions of the State Policy in the Field of Environmental Protection, Natural Resources Use and Environmental Safety” was adopted by the Parliament of Ukraine. This document clearly defines the key priorities of Environmental Policy and Practical Actions including International obligations of Ukraine. These are as follows: 1. Assurance of nuclear and radiation safety, overcoming of the consequences of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster. 2. Conservation of landscape and biological diversity. 3. Improvement of the state of the environment in the Dniper Basin and potable water quality. 4. Prevention of pollution and improvement of the environment of Black Sea. 5. Improvement of environmental state in the Donetsko-Prydniprovsky Industrial Regions. 6. Construction and reconstruction of municipal sewage systems. As we can see, three of the defined priorities are directly related to the sustainable water management and clearly stipulate the necessity of consolidation of national intersectoral and international efforts for practical actions. Priorities for transboundary co-operation By the present time the Ministry for Environmental Protection and Nuclear Safety of Ukraine has adopted four co-operation programmes for transboundary rivers in Danube basin: Table 2.3.

<strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Reports</strong> – Part D: Water Environmental Engineering 131 The Agreements between Ukraine and Moldova on the common use and protection of water resources of Dnister River, The Agreements between Ukraine and Poland on the boundary control of the water quality of Western Bug and other rivers. There are many agreements concerning the cross-border control of the water quality between Ukrainian regional nature protection departments and similar departments in Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Belarus. Black Sea matters Along with the independence, Ukraine gained the status of a marine State. But the Black Sea which Ukraine has access to, is an internal sea and, unfortunately is on the list of the most polluted seas in the world. The situation with the Black Sea has not always been like this. The Black Sea is a unique marine natural system with its bioproductive, recreational and potential capacities. Huge productive potential of the Black Sea and its basin has been providing the Black Sea area inhabitants with all the necessary-for-life products for thousands of years. In the beginning of the 20th century one could still get an impression of the guaranteed endless use of its resources. But the exceeding use of the marine resources and the use of the Black Sea as the reservoir for wastes disposal, especially during the period of the last thirty years, have caused catastrophic degradation of its environmental system and drastic reduction of its productivity. Ukraine has the longest coastal line in this rather inhabited region. That is why its environment has always been a subject to close attention and major concern for the Ukrainian Government. But Ukraine is not the only country to use the resources of the Black Sea, and the infinite contamination of marine environment comes from the collector basin, the surface of which several times exceeds the surface of the Black Sea itself. The Black Sea gathers a convincing number of 17 countries around it. Thus, the solution of the Black Sea environmental problems is impossible without thoroughly considered international co-operation. The commitments undertaken by the Black Sea countries concerning the protection and use of its resources is set out in the Convention on the Black Sea pollution protection (done in Bucharest in 1992) that is the basic legal title defining the priorities and directions of the international nature protection activities in the Black Sea basin. The Convention was ratified by all the Black Sea countries. The general nature protection policy is outlined in the Odessa Declaration signed by the Ministers of environment protection of Bulgaria, Georgia, Russia, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine in 1993. Practically the Declaration gave the start to the idea-generating process that was later put into words in the Convention of Bucharest. It was under this legislation base that the International Programme ’Management and protection of the Black Sea’ for the years of 1993 - 1997 to assist the Governments of Bulgaria, Georgia, Russia, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine to carry out the provisions of the Convention, was implemented under the umbrella of GEF. The Programme consisted of 3 components and was oriented on: strengthening of nature protection potential; policy development; attraction of large-scale investments. The Programme had exclusively positive influence on consolidation of the international efforts in the field of control for marine environment pollution and use of its natural resources. The intentions of the Black Sea countries to save the Black Sea from further degradation were stated in the Programme document that is in the Strategic Action Plan for the Black Sea (signed on 31 of October 1996 by Ministers of Environment of the Black Sea countries).
