2.4 ICZM in Selected Member States of the EU
23
In 2000 the European Commission released a proposal for a European Parliament and
Council recommendation concerning the implementation of ICZM in Europe (COM(2000)
545 final) which finally led to the Recommendation on the European Parliament and
of the Council of 30 May 2002 concerning the implementation of ICZM in Europe
(2002/413/EC). Within six chapters the Commission elucidated the lessons learned from
out the projects of the Demonstration Program. The ICZM recommendations were adopted in 2002 (for detailed description, see Sect. 3.2). The important point is that Member
States should prepare national ICZM strategies 4 years after the adoption of the ICZM recommendations and that the Commission will propose approximately 1 year later a review
of the Recommendations (see EC 2002).
In the following Environmental action program (2002–2012, 1600/2002/EC) emphasis
was also laid on ICZM in article 3.10 (. . . promoting best practice with respect to sustainable land use planning which took into account of specific regional circumstances with
particular emphasis on ICZM program . . . ) and in article 6 (2g) (. . . promoting integrated management of coastal zones . . . ) in order to achieve sustainable use of the sea and
conservation of marine environment.
Next important step for ICZM in the EU was the set-up of the protocol on ICZM in
the Mediterranean as additional document to the Barcelona Convention from 1976 (EC,
2009).
Currently, the latest development was the proposal for a Directive establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning and integrated coastal zone management (COM(2013)
133 final, EC, 2013). This action is the result of the adoption of the Integrated Maritime
Policy in 2007 (EC 2007a, COM(2007) 575 final) in which the principles of the ICZM
recommendations were recalled (see EC, 2007c).
Exercise
• Get the cross-cutting summary reports from the EU ICZM Demonstration Program
and read the lessons learned carefully. What are the main statements and findings?
• How are these statements and findings represented within the Model Law and the
Code of Conduct?
• Are the Model Law and Code of Conduct helpful producing or supporting national
ICZM strategies?
• What could be the barriers why a Law on ICZM has not been further developed?
