MSUO: The Goal (2005-2006)
An INTERREG cross programme enhancement that
assists Interreg Maritime Safety projects by:
• Providing a European and International Network for cooperation 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

Future territorial co-operation
Transnational / 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?
Future territorial co-operaion
Transnational / 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
Future territorial co-operation
Transnational / Cross-Border (2007-13)
Proposals for Funding Projects:

• 50%- 75% (possibly 85%) ERDF Cofinancing Funding
• 20% Transprogramme
• 10% Outside EU
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
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?
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
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)
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
Third Maritime Safety Package
What is Spatial?
• Places of Refuge (link to IMO Guidance)

Morocco)
• Contingency, Observation, Assessment &
Response
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

DG Regio Guidelines & Programme requirements
Look at websites!
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
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.
