The International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (1CPDR) stands as a positive model for cooperation between EU and non-EU countries. Older agreements date back mainly to the 1950s and 1960s, including the Finnish-Norwegian, Finnish-Russian and Polish-Russian agreements, the 1929 Convention between Norway and Sweden being the oldest. Currently, a number of countries are in the process of revising or have recently revised their bilateral agreements.
