GUIDELINES
NEREIDAS
PORTS AND ENVIRONMENT
•
European ports - main door of access to enter Europe and Middle-East territories
for transports from all over the world.
•
The growth of sea traffic introduces critical points in terms of environmental
sustainability concerning harbors as central location of import/export traffic.
•
The impacts of trade, industrial and construction activities as well as the auxiliary
services concentrated in ports and coastal areas, often on the border of a town
center, can produce negative effects both to the natural eco-system.
•
Ports represent in this sense the most important and critical transit area between
the sea, the city and the inlands. Several port areas are situated in close
juxtaposition to urban areas and may even be bounded by, or include, areas of
special environmental significance due to the presence of protected habitats
and ecosystems.
•
NEED OF SPECIFIC ATTENTION TO RECONCILE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND
PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
CLIMATE CHANGE AND DECARBONISATION
•
•
•
•
•
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (94) - stabilize
greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent
dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.
The Sixth Community Environment Action Programme (2002) - 8 % reduction in
emissions of greenhouse gases by 2008 to 2012 compared to 1990 levels.
The EC Communication of 2007 entitled ‘Limiting global climate change to two
degrees Celsius – The way ahead for 2020 and beyond’ clarifies - envisaged
global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of 30 % by 2020
According to Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 (the Monitoring Mechanism
Regulation), the Member States and the Union must cooperate fully with each
other on the compilation of the Union GHG inventory and the preparation of the
Union GHG inventory report.
Preliminary estimates in Carbon dioxide capture and geological storage (CCS), a
similar context to biological carbon dioxide capture developed in NEREIDAS indicate that
o
o
o
seven million tons of CO2 could be stored by 2020,
and up to 160 million tons by 2030, assuming a 20 % reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions by 2020
provided that CCS obtains private, national and Community support and proves to be an
environmentally safe technology.
MARINE ENVIRONMENT
•
Water Framework Directive (WFD) - water monitoring includes assessment of
biological/ecological quality elements, chemical monitoring of priority pollutants
and measurements of physicochemical parameters.
•
The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (2008) aims to achieve or maintain a
Good Environmental Status (GES) by 2020 at the latest - first legislative instrument
in relation to the marine biodiversity policy, integrating the concepts of
environmental protection and sustainable use.
•
Coordinated monitoring programs should be established and implemented by 15
July 2014 in order to assess the environmental status of marine waters.
•
As main steps to achieve the objectives of the NEREIDAS proposal are
o the development of new sensors to measure the water quality and key
properties in near real time
o and their integration in marine platforms and the development of EWS to
identify and avert potentially dangerous situations.
THE NEW TEN-T POLICY OBJECTIVES
•
•
•
The protection of the
environment and of biodiversity,
as well as the strategic
requirements of inland
waterway transport, should be
taken into account.
The contribution to the
objectives of low greenhouse
gas emissions, low-carbon and
clean transport, fuel security,
reduction of external costs and
environmental protection;
The promotion of low-carbon
transport with the aim of
achieving by 2050 a significant
reduction in CO 2 emissions, in
line with the relevant Union CO 2
reduction targets;
TEN-T PROJECTS OF COMMON INTEREST
•
Projects of common interest for which Union funding is sought should based on a
cost benefit analysis, taking into account the relevant climate-related and
environmental benefits and costs.
•
During infrastructure planning, Member States and other project promoters should
give due consideration to the risk assessments and adaptation measures
adequately improving resilience to climate change and environmental
•
Member States and other project promoters should carry out environmental
assessments of plans and projects to mitigate or compensate for negative impacts
on the environment, such as water pollution as well as to protect biodiversity
•
Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the projects are
carried out in compliance with relevant Union and national law, in particular with
Union legal acts on the environment, climate protection, safety, security,
competition, state aid, public procurement, public health and accessibility.
TEN-T PROJECTS
•
•
•
Maritime MOS
Equipment associated with maritime transport infrastructure may include limiting
its negative environmental effects
Projects of common interest for motorways of the sea in the trans-European
transport network may also include activities that have wider benefits and are not
linked to specific ports
•
•
Work plan of the EU coordinators
Measures to be taken in order to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, noise and,
as appropriate, other negative environmental impacts.
•
•
Innovation
Support and promote the decarbonisation of transport through transition to
innovative and sustainable transport technologies;
NEREIDAS
• Supporting Decarbonisation
• In line with EU environmental framework
• In line with new TEN-T policy
• From Melilla to Europe
