Workshop of IG POM Introduction

Andrea Weiß (Chair IG POM)

• Regional coordination of measures

 Strengthen the implementation of BSAP  Support EU Member States under MSFD

• Regional documentation for use be EU Member

States for reporting of programmes of measures

• Starting point:

 HELCOM acquis and its implementation: gap analysis  Planned national measures: analysis of opportunities for coordination  Ongoing HELCOM work in support of coordination of measures  Actions still needed for regional coordination and progress

• n achieving good status of the Baltic Sea ecosystems

Workshop background

Workshop purpose

• Finalising proposals for actions still needed

 „new“ actions, i.e. forward looking perspective: Case‐by‐case decision on what is „new“ or „existing“  „measures“, i.e. focussing on activites that directly steer human activities: monitoring, research, assessment are not „measures“  Proposed actions not yet agreed in HELCOM require approval by HOD

• „Coordination“

 Coordination of national measures  Regional measures (e.g. HELCOM Recommendations)  Sub‐regional measures  Concerted actions in relation to third parties (e.g. IMO, EU, third countries)

• List of planned national measures (8 October 2015)
• Contributions from

 S&C, Pressure  Secretariat: Maritime issues  Lead countries: templates actions still needed

• Comments from GEAR?

Row no. Actions still needed to reach the target(s)

1 Name of action / measure: 2 Type of action / measure (MSFD type: 2a or 2b) For type 2a: policy used 3 HELCOM type of action Type of coordination (as defined in the Joint Document): (1) regional coordination of national measure, (2) regional measure, (3) sub‐regional measure, (4) joint regional action in relation to third parties 5 Short description of the action / measure including its purpose and a description of the mechanism of how the action / measure improves the state of the environment 6 Spatial coverage (e.g. European, whole Baltic Sea, sub‐basin(s)) 7 Recommended start and duration, if appropriate, of action / measure (temporal coverage) 8 Contribution of the action / measure to achieve the target (possibly including reference to available studies on effectiveness) 9 Proposed activities for implementation (very briefly) e.g. technical requirements, milestones including reference to ongoing activities 10 Obstacles to implementation (at regional and CP level)

Indicator

State of play

• Template for „actions still needed“
• Existing (Category 1b) or new measure (Category 2a)?
• Indicator?
• Need for template adjustment?

Workshop tasks

• Conclude and finalise „actions still needed“
• Identify any issues on the joint document

that may arise in the discussions

• Arrangements for finalising the Joint

Document

• Taking forward actions still needed
• Report and recommendation to GEAR

Workshop organisation

• Break‐out groups

 Group 1 „pressure“ issues (6 topics)  Group 2 „conservation“ issues (4 topics)  Discussion led by lead countries / WG Chairs  Drafting of „actions still needed“ per topic

• Plenary

 Discussion and conclusion per topic  Next steps

Good luck and success!
