Relevance of the Greenbook for

Just two examples where we feel positivly encouraged by the Green Paper:

We agree on the fact that environmental data and socio-economic statistics have not been readily available in a coastal format (p. 25). We therefore start to carry out an socioeconomic impact assessment of the situation in the region Klaipeda, Lithuania.

The integration of the existing systems of civilian and military users (p. 33) undoubtly makes sense. We would like to contribute to the investigation of both, civil and naval administration of sea space.

Relevance for

The Green Paper consequently promotes maritime economy and regards the discipline of spatial planning as tool for economic development.

Maintenance and improvement of the maritime environment, is described in terms of potentials for EU’s competetiveness, growth and employment (page 10) and is left to the thematic strategy (Marine Strategy).

Problem: Concerning our task to manage the threats we therefore have to look for orientation in the Marine strategy, where spatial planning is hardly mentioned.

Relevance for

For the approximation of the target of Baltic Master the Green Paper is helpful nevertheless as we hereby get clear orientation about the present EC commitment to maritime economy.

This ist important as our task within the project can’t only be an outline but has to take into account the possibility of implementation as well

Relevance for

Nevertheless the Green Paper is not of crucial importance.

The Green Papers underlying principles start with the Lisbon Strategy while the Baltic Master project focusses on an protective approach: Can we manage the threats to the Baltic Sea?
