EU Policies about sustainable development
“EU SDS”
The European Council of June 2006 adopted an ambitious and
comprehensive renewed SDS for an enlarged EU. It builds on the
Gothenburg strategy of 2001 and is the result of an extensive review
process that started in 2004.
The strategy sets overall objectives for seven key-priorities:
1. Climate change and clean energy
2. Sustainable transport
3. Sustainable consumption & production
4. Conservation and management of natural resources
5. Public Health
6. Social inclusion, demography and migration
7. Global poverty and sustainable development challenges

EU Policies about sustainable development
“EU SDS”
In July 2009 the Commission adopted the 2009 Review of
EU SDS Com (2009) 400 (“Mainstreaming sustainable
development in Eu policies”). It underlines that in recent
years the EU has mainstreamed sustainable development
into a broad range of its policies.
Such as..

Rewised Waste Framework Directive: important
target within 2020
Natura 2000 (but network is still pending..)
Water Framework Directive

EU Policies about sustainable development
“EU SDS”
Forest ecosystems are stable, but increasingly
exposed to climate change impacts (storms, fires,
pests)
Integrated Maritime Policy needs to establish how
to ensure the long term sustainability and viability
of fisheries.
Rural Development Policy helps us to achieve
valuable goals for our countryside and for the
people who live and work there.

Rural Development in the European Union- Statistical and
economical information – Report 2009
The OECD methodology is based on population density, (OECD, Creating
rural indicators for shaping territorial policy, Paris, 1994). It is based on a
two-step approach. First, local units (e.g. municipalities) are identified as
rural if their population density is below 150 inhabitants. Then regions (e.g.
NUTS 3 or NUTS 2), are classified in one of the 3 categories:
• Predominantly Rural region (PR) : if more than 50% of the population of
the region is living in rural communes (with less than 150 inhabitants /
km2);
• Intermediate Region (IR) : if 15% to 50% of the population of the region
is living in rural local units;
• Predominantly Urban region (PU): if less than 15% of the population of
the region is living in rural local units.

EU Policies about sustainable development
“Rural Development Policy”
Regulation (EC) 1698/2005 about Rural Development
Rural development policy is focused on 3 thematic axes:
1. improving the competitiveness of the agricultural and forestry sector;
2. improving the environment and the countryside;
3. improving the quality of life in rural areas and encouraging
diversification of the rural economy.

SWOT Analysis
28
Strengths
Weaknesses
-Richness of natural and cultural heritage
- Presence of folkloristic events
-Good cooperation between local
municipalities
-Presence of turistic structures
- Low water level: no tributaries and high
competition between agriculture and local
use
- Traditional agriculture (arable lands)
- Absence on integration between natural
resource and economical operators
- Tourists flows fluctuation (it’s connected
to water level !)
Opportunities
Threats
- Increasing interest for eco-tourism
(fishtourism)
- Increasing interest for local traditions
(recipes; historical events,e tc)
-Possibility to have also scolastic tourism
(summer camps)
- Possibility to increase commercial value
of lake’s fish
- Population ageing
- Competition between hunting lobby and
environmentalist lobby

SWOT Analysis
Strengths
Weaknesses
-Richness of natural and cultural heritage
- Integration between SMEs : agriculture,
manufacturing, tourism
-Depopulation of mountain side
-Population ageing
- Typical farms products (Ham- Protected
Geographical Indications!; truffle; cheese;
cereals)
Opportunities
Threats
-Increasing interest for eco-tourism
- -Cultural isolation
-Possibility to increase railroad
37
Conclusions
1. Natural areas/resources presence is not enough to increase
local development
2. Local development is possible if SMEs (agriculture,
craftsmanship, tourism) develop together
- Trasimeno lake Park has got an not-differentiated
development
- Sibillini Park has got a local development connected to
natural areas.
