10
ARC MANCHE Conference 2009 2 nd December 2009 The cases should show the added value of ICZM (incl. River Basin Management) so that others may be able to use them directly or in a modified form. They should be:- Completed NOT on-going Programme NOT project Has been implemented BUT can be document/study if useful and implementable Policy /Instrument NOT research Aspects of ICZM but NOT MSP or fisheries Cases (criteria)

13
ARC MANCHE Conference 2009 2 nd December 2009 Analysis of the most relevant EU policies and legislation: affect the implementation of ICZM to exemplify coordinated implementation to identify obstacles that hinder proper policy coordination in terms of planning and management EU Policies & Legislation
