The EAP Task Force brings together environmental representatives from all CEE countries, the NIS and Organisation for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD) countries, as well as international organisations, financial institutions, parliamentarians and social partners — the enterprise sector, trade unions and environmental citizens organisations. The Task Force is co-chaired by the European Commission together with a Central and Eastern European country, chosen to serve on a rotating basis. The main objective of the Task Force is to facilitate implementation of the policy and institutional aspects of the EAP by: promoting the integration of environmental considerations into the processes of economic and political reform; upgrading capacity for environmental management; broadening support for environmental improvement; and promoting the mobilisation and cost-effective use of financial resources.
