10. Priority 3: Water resources and the prevention of flood damage 1)Given the EU wide urgency to address flood prevention issues, the Programme is looking for high quality projects dealing with water resources and flooding (Measure 3.2) 2)If there is enough evidence of good transnational projects then this might trigger discussions for a shift of monies from one Measure to the other (JTS, MS, EC). Underdeveloped Themes and Issues

11. Priority 5: Promoting territorial integration across seas of NWE Identifying complementary functions between NWE ports SMEs improving co-operation in services related to seaport and inland port activities Promotion of short sea shipping services in NWE and between NWE and other EU seaboards (Atlantic, North Sea…) Enhancement of the indigenous maritime potential (employment, social integration) Networks between NWE coastal gateway towns Joint management of fishing resources, coastal ecosystems Underdeveloped Themes and Issues

12. All Priorities and Measures High quality projects at all Measures are encouraged, even for those Measures where a lot of projects are on the pipeline (quantity vs quality) like 1.1, 4.2 Meeting the targets and objectives at Programme Level means that a reorganisation of allocated money may arise at the Mid Term Evaluation even at Priority level (end 2003) An early expression of interest will assist JTS in making a judgement about this Underdeveloped Themes and Issues
