Agreement between Finland and Norway on the Finnish-Norwegian Border Water Commission.

With this Agreement the Parties establish the Boundary Water Commission, which is a joint transboundary water commission whose task is to act as a cooperation and liaison body between the governments of Finland and Norway in matters concerning transboundary water bodies. The Transboundary Water Commission must provide a report to the governments of the contracting parties every year, which also includes a notification on the division of the commission's costs between the contracting parties. For this purpose, the task of the Boundary Water Commission is to make presentations and initiatives and give statements on matters concerning the management of the border water bodies between Finland and Norway, monitoring and control of their state and water quality, fishing conditions, prevention of water pollution, construction in the border water body and regulation of the border water body, and in other matters whose effects appear in boundary water works. Parties must report to the Commission on certain matters.
