The first session of Working Group for the Protection of the Environmental Elements and Informatics was held on 29th July of 1999 roughly one month after the first session of Hungarian – Slovakian Joint Committee for Environmental Protection and Nature Conservation.

With participation of experts (or: by integration of experts) they discussed the working program and submitted it for endorsement to the presidents of the Joint Committee. Since its formation the Working Group holds its sessions alternatively in Hungary and in Slovakia, two times in every year. On these sessions the implementation of tasks established in the working program is supervised and in case of necessity modifications of the program are performed. The working group initially had a very wide-range activity. After a while establishment of sub-working groups became a necessity to in order that some important and great-volume tasks could be implemented. As the tasks grow even further and changed to be more and more important these sub-working groups became independent Working Groups in 2002. In the year 2004. a new forum for consultation was organised, for remediation issues. The Remediation forum held its first meeting on 16 June 2004.
