SIMWESTMED - State-of-play of the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive Implementation process - Focus on the role of the Regions (R2)
Description
Component: C1.2 Development of cooperation on transboundary MSP
Sub-component: C.1.2.2 Analysis of the Maritime Spatial Planning Process
The Directive establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning was adopted on 23 July 2014, it commits Member States to define a planning strategy and develop maritime spatial management plans by 2021. In doing so, EU Member States must adhere to a series of principles, including consultation of the relevant authorities. This paper will describe the state of play of MSP implementation in the European Union and especially within the four countries of the SIMWESTMED project being France, Italy, Malta and Spain, together with regional implications.
In a second part, this paper will indeed address the role of the regions in the implementation process of the Directive and will analyse their concerns and proposed solutions. EU Coastal regional authorities can be considered as indispensable actors in the development and management of human activities at sea, in link with their regulatory powers, scope of competencies, and actions. The stakes of the Directive are in that sense of high importance for many regions whose economy is largely based on the maritime sector.
