En integreret havpolitik

EU-faktablade 01-09-2017

EU's integrerede havpolitik er en helhedsorienteret tilgang til alle havrelaterede EU-politikker. Den integrerede havpolitik er baseret på tanken om, at Unionen ved at koordinere sine politikker kan få større udbytte af havene og oceanerne med færre miljøindvirkninger, og den omfatter så forskellige områder som fiskeri og akvakultur, skibsfart og havne, havmiljø, havforskning, offshoreenergi, skibsbygning og havrelaterede sektorer, havovervågning, turisme ved og på havet, beskæftigelse, udvikling ...

The EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region (EUSAIR) is the third EU macro-regional strategy, following the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (2009) and the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (2011). On a mandate from the European Council, the EUSAIR was developed jointly by the Commission with the Adriatic-Ionian region countries and stakeholders. The EUSAIR launch conference took place in Brussels on 18 November 2014. The Adriatic and Ionian region faces a number of challenges, such as ...

This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's Impact Assessment (IA) accompanying the Commission proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning and integrated coastal management (COM (2013) 133), submitted on 12 March 2013. It analyses whether the principal criteria laid down in the Commission’s own Impact Assessment Guidelines, as well as additional factors ...

Blue growth

Oversigt 27-06-2013

In September 2012, the European Commission (EC) adopted a Communication on blue growth which aims to develop the potential of the EU's seas, oceans and coasts to create employment and promote innovation and sustainable growth. A wide variety of marine and maritime economic activities fall within the sphere of this initiative, with five specific sectors identified by the EC as potential drivers of blue growth and, as such, future targets for particular support measures.

In September 2012, the European Commission put forward a blue growth strategy for the EU. Elaborated in the context of the EU's Integrated Maritime Policy, the initiative focuses upon the potential of the EU's marine and maritime sectors to contribute to sustainable economic recovery in Europe, and in particular to create new jobs and foster innovation.

The increasing use of seas and coasts for economic activities, the 'blue economy,' leads to growing and competing demands for maritime space. Maritime spatial planning (MSP) is a relatively new approach to overall planning of the use of seas and coastal areas. In March 2013, the European Commission proposed a Directive that would oblige Member States to make maritime spatial plans and coordinate them with other MS.

The study analyses the structure and economic performance of small-scale coastal fisheries (SSF) in Europe. Eighteen main clusters within SSF are identified and their distribution by NUTS-2 region is presented. The contribution of SSF in terms of income and employment to the economies of the NUTS-2 regions is also assessed. Some potential policy implications of the study’s findings are considered in light of the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy.

80% of the EU fishing fleet is today considered as 'small-scale and coastal fisheries’ (SSCF). In the context of the upcoming Common fisheries policy reform, the European Commission launched a debate on the creation of a specific management regime for SSCF, focusing on social objectives.

This report summarises the presentations and discussions at a Workshop on "EU biodiversity legislation: How to make it work", organised by the ENVI Committee and held at the European Parliament in Brussels on Tuesday 8 June 2010. The aim of the workshop was to provide MEPs with a comprehensive and balanced overview of the difficulties experienced by and the differences between Member States regarding implementation of biodiversity legislation and workable solutions. The workshop was organised in ...

This note identifies key issues in the relationship between Natura 2000 and fisheries, describes the Natura 2000 process and its implementation, and different solutions applied to solve management tasks. To date, no Member State has developed fully approved fisheries management plans. Defining principal areas for fisheries, and the development of a consistent management framework of fisheries to incorporate requirements not only from Natura 2000, but also from MSFD and OSPAR/HELCOM strategies, are ...
