Challenges for Coherent MSP in a Transboundary context

Challenges for the Baltic Scope

• Independent Governments decides about targets, priorities in the respective MSP

• Plans are/will be adopted by national parliaments/goverment

• Different status on plans/different legal system

• Bilateral or (multilateral) governmental agreements will be required if MSP will be coherent

How does it look 2050?
