In order to bring this development under some control, close co-operation would be needed between the countries of both Eastern and Western Europe. The problem was taken up by the U.N. Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) in Geneva, and further progress was made at the first Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europa in Helsinki in 1975, which recommended the development of an extended programme for monitoring and evaluation of the long range transport of air pollution in Europe.
