  1. Maritime Policy: Sources of Project Ideas Maritime SafetyUmbrella Operation “Co-operating to create, maintain and implement a safer maritime environment” Richard Hill Maritime Safety Co-ordinator

  2. Overview • MSUO: Goals and Outcomes • Project-to-Project Co-operation on Project Development • Maritime Policy: Source of Projects? • Future Role of MSUO • Contacts

  3. MSUO: The Goal (2005-2006) An INTERREG cross programme enhancement that assists Interreg Maritime Safety projects by: • Providing a European and International Networkfor co-operation on maritime safety; • Promoting project outcomes to establish Europe and partners at the forefront of maritime safety activity; • Increasing project competence in maritime safety by closing gaps in knowledge and encouraging cooperation; • Assisting programmes to become a collective driving force for maritime safety on the European and international agenda

  5. Umbrella Outcomes • Communication of Information - between projects - national, European and international level • Project to Project Cooperation (PPC) - Prevention - Preparedness and Response - Integration • Project Development

  6. Project Development PPC Objectives and Outputs: Phase 1: • Identify maritime themes for new programme period • Identify potential partners • Identify transnational areas for undertaking projects • Produce Phase 1 report Phase 2: • review project themes against Transnational programme guidance issued by DG Regio • Identify which project themes are suitable for funding • Suggest funding methods • Produce Phase 2 report

  7. Future Projects: Sources of Information and Ideas • DG Regio Guidance for future transnational programme • EU Maritime Policy Green Paper • Regional Seas Programme (UNEP) • Marine Strategy Directive COM(2005) 505 Final • Third Maritime Safety Package (and previous Erika I and II packages) • IMO Conventions and Guidance • Motorways of the Sea Initiative • Existing Projects See MSUO Future Options Report, due end June 2006

  8. Future territorial co-operationTransnational / Cross-Border (2007-13) Integrated territorial development: • Current suggested budget: 7.8 bill Euro • Partners from at two or more countries • Strand A: Cross-border co-operation (73.86%) -for solving local problems -strategic projects along maritime borders • Strand B: Transnational Co-operation (20.95%) - no longer studies and plans but concrete, strategic projects important for whole area. MSUO Question: Strategic Project= Practical implementation of maritime policy?

  9. Future territorial co-operaionTransnational / Cross-Border (2007-13) Focus on: • Innovation, RTD, enterprises • Environment, water management, risk prevention – incl. maritime safety • Improved accessibility, transport, information and communication technology • Sustainable urban development

  10. Future territorial co-operationTransnational / Cross-Border (2007-13) Proposals for Funding Projects: • Current Maritime Projects: Average Euro 3-8 Million • 50%- 75% (possibly 85%) ERDF Cofinancing Funding • 20% Transprogramme • 10% Outside EU

  11. EU Maritime Policy Green Paper • Sustainable development • Co-operation (member & non-member states) • Holistic approach- integration of policy • Protect biodiversity • Build upon EU Policy (Marine Strategy, Lisbon, etc.)- stimulate growth & improve marine resources • Ecosystem Approach • Link to UNEP? http://ec.europa/maritimeaffairs

  12. EU Maritime Policy Green Paper Green Paper built around series of questions • How can maritime policy contribute to maintaining our ocean resources and environment? • How can a maritime policy further the aims of the Marine Thematic Strategy (Marine Strategy Directive)? • How can risk assessment best be used to further safety at sea? (S@S and MSUO PPC 1a) • What are the principles and mechanisms that should underpin maritime spatial planning systems? • How can systems for planning on land and sea be made compatible? • Others: Climate Change, jobs, technology, etc. MSUO: Can Transnational & Crossborder Projects be used to answer these questions?

  13. Regional Seas Programme (UNEP) • Sustainable management of marine & coastal resources • Joint cooperation and actions by coastal states • Function through ‘Action Plans’ • OSPAR (NE Atlantic), HELCOM (Baltic) & MAP (Mediterranean) • Projects should function within framework- -partnerships, policies, -projects should implement actions

  14. HELCOM: http://www.helcom.fi/ • The Monitoring and Assessment Group (HELCOM MONAS) • The Land-based Pollution Group (HELCOM LAND) • The Nature Protection and Biodiversity Group (HELCOM HABITAT) • The Maritime Group (HELCOM MARITIME) • The Response Group (HELCOM RESPONSE)

  15. Marine Strategy Directive • Establishes Marine Regions (NE Atlantic, Baltic & Mediterranean) • Develop marine strategies within each region - assessment, good environmental status, targets, monitoring programmes • Programme of cost effective measures= Projects? • Link to UNEP Regional Seas Programme • Led at Member State level- need competent national authority partners

  16. Third Maritime Safety Package What is Spatial? • Places of Refuge (link to IMO Guidance) • Vessel Traffic Monitoring (AIS) linked to Safeseanet See: • Vessel traffic monitoring and information system Directive- COM (2005) 589 Final • EMSA http://www.emsa.europa.eu/ • DG TREN http://ec.europa.eu/transport/maritime/index_en.htm

  17. IMO Conventions and Guidance • Oil Spill/ Hazardous Noxious Substances- Preparedness, Response & Co-operation (OPRC’90 & OPRC HNS) -Art. 8 & 9= R&D + Cooperation between countries and regional bodies; • Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas (PSSAs)- development of Associated Protection Measures; • Places of Refuge Guidance

  18. Regional Shipping Pollution Agreements • Bonn Agreement (North Sea & Channel) • Emerg. Protocol to Barcelona Convention (Mediterranean-REMPEC) • Copenhagen Declaration (Baltic-HELCOM) • Lisbon Agreement (France, Spain, Portugal & Morocco) • Contingency, Observation, Assessment & Response

  19. HELCOM/Copenhagen • Maritime Group (HELCOM MARITIME) - ensure adopted regulations are observed & enforced effectively & uniformly through close international co-operation -to identify and promote actions to limit sea-based pollution while ensuring safe navigation. • Response Group (HELCOM RESPONSE) - ensure swift national & international response to maritime pollution incidents - ensure in an accident the right equipment is available & routines are in place to respond immediately in co-operation with neighbouring states -analyse developments in maritime transportation around the Baltic & investigate possible impacts on international cooperation with regard to pollution response -to coordinate the aerial surveillance of maritime shipping routes to provide a complete picture of sea-based pollution around the Baltic, and to help identify suspected polluters

  20. Sources of Information & Ideas MSUO Reports • MSUO Future Options report – June 06 • Project Development reports – Aug/Nov 06 • Project to Project Co-operation reports Upcoming MSUO Events: • Motorways of the Sea Conference, Helsinki 2nd/3rd Oct 06 • Passenger Vessel Safety seminar 2, Scotland Oct 06 DG Regio Guidelines & Programme requirements Look at websites!

  21. Future Role of MSUO (2007-2013) • Expand to cover all A-Strand & B-Strand Maritime Safety & Sustainable Development of Marine Areas? • Advice and Assistance to Projects Provide topics, technical content, partnership search & inclusion, policy framework, communication & dissemination, gaps in knowledge (PPC) • Advice and Assistance to Programmes & Commission Structure & design to include maritime topics, support development of guidance and priority texts, assessment of applications, dissemination • Feedback Provide information on programme and project effectiveness to policy framework

  22. Future Project Requirements • “Strategic”: High level projects which deliver maritime safety and sustainable development; • “Eligible” Ensure Interreg projects meet eligibility criteria of Programmes (development and operational phases); • “Compatible” Maritime Projects should be developed in agreement with existing framework of maritime governance at international, European and member state level, and; • “Responsibility” Regional Organisations, Competent National Authorities and relevant European Authorities and Agencies should be involved and/or kept informed during project development.
