MOSCOW under armour clutchfit drive españa , July 16 (Xinhua) -- Russia has transferred 5 million euros (6.7 million U.S. dollars) to the Arctic Council's account for environmental protection of the Arctic, the Ministry of Natural Resources said Wednesday.
The money will be used to clear up oil and chemical pollution in high seas, according to an agreement signed in May 2013 at the eighth ministerial meeting of the Arctic Council, Deputy Environment Minister Rinat Gizatulin said.
"The first Russian deposit to the (Arctic Council's) foundation is a significant practical step to utilize a potential of international cooperation in the frames of the Arctic Council," RIA Novosti news agency quoted the official as saying.
The money has been managed by Finland's Nordic Investment Bank (NIB). The eight-member institution's main focus is to improve the competitiveness and environment of the Nordic and Baltic countries.
Moscow is to transfer another 5 million euros to the foundation in 2015.
"Large-scale environmental activities in the Far North require joint efforts from all Arctic states in both intellectual and technical fields," Gizatulin said.
