Content of Presentation

• Background/Overview

• Purpose of WP 5

• Important issues of WP5

• Overview of WP 5

• Details of WP 5

Background

• Discrepancy in aggregates managament practices and policies among old and new EU member states and canditate countries is large.– Thus, it is very important to create a strategic harmonization of

legislation and policies through SARM and SSM across SEE.

Purpose of WP5

• WP addresses transnational aspects and possibilities for harmonizing policies/legislation related to

– 1) SARM– 2) secure supply, – 3) establishment of a Regional Centre for SARM and SSM.

• First 2 activities lead to recommendations for creation of a Aggregate Intelligence System (AIS) for SEE.

– multi-purpose, multi-scale interoperable

• Outputs will be summarized in a manual – incorporating outputs of WP4, – using in dissemination activities (workshops, brochures).

• Workshops on transnational supply: Will emphasize how to ensure SSM,

– considering environmental impacts – considering increased recycling, – enhancing economic development across SEE.

• Regional Centre has potential to become a durable result of the project.

Important issues of WP5

1. Creation of a SARMa-method and SSM-Policies

2. Implementation of transnational view of theoretical and practical outputs in SEE.

3. Know-how transfer through AIS integration and Regional Centre establishment of SARM and SSM,

– in order to achieve efficient implementation of SARM harmonized approaches,

• thus increasing sustainable quality of life,

• resource efficiency and long term cooperation in SEE countries.

Overview of WP 5

WP 5 / Objectives

5.1 Legislation and policies harmonizationCross-border case studies, integrating SARM into land

use planning, AIS-design

5.2 Sustainable supply among SEESynthesis on supply aspects of case studies, land use planning, management, AIS-clarifiaction

SARM and SSM Manual for national and transantional level 5.3SARM and SSM manual, recommend SEE countries to develop their aggregates resource management.

Feasibility study and action plan for Regional Centre on SARM in SEE 5.4Long term implementation of SARMa, i.e.Outputs of WP3,4,5. As well as AIS.

WP 5 / Methodology

• WP5 will be based on outcomes of W1-W4.

• WP5.1: Harmonization– Case studies in defined areas (AT-SI-HU-HR + GR,

RO + IT)• WP 5.2: Securing supply

– Synthesis of collected information from WP 5.1• WP 5.3: Manual (national/transnational)

– Partners of WP4 and WP 5, providing information• WP 4: Regional centre

– Feasibility study

Details of WP 5

WP 5.1: Harmonization of legislation and

policies

• Partners will – oversee case studies in their areas, – create reports

• trans-border, cross-country, synthesis

– design of AIS (contribution )– development of recommendation for decision makers

WP 5.1 Harmonization – TASK 2

Responsability Methodology Outputs DeadlineIGME and All Partners from WP 5.1

*using basically information from WP4, i.e. existing legislation, land use planning approaches in SEE, related to AT-SI-HU-HR and GR, RO, IT

*using information from TASK 1/WP5.1

*depending on country specific issues/SEE: close cooperation with stakeholders of dedicated regions (e.g.: Austria: Chamber of Commerce, land use planning authority in St. Pölten)

*recommendations, e.g. related to existing and/or implementing transnational/best practices

Guidelines for integrating SARM (especially: methods) into legislation, land use planning

in AT-SI-HU- HR and GR, RO, IT

including recommendations for stakeholders on harmonization of procedures

Guidelines in small reports?

Discussion: which form of guidelines? Must be very practically, to be applied.

Responsability Methodology Outputs DeadlineAll partners from WP 5.1

*Defining AIS, related to SARMa:AIS=System, comprising data, information, maps, legislation, practices, protocols, procedures,

How shall it work?

QUESTION:AIS-at which WP will this issue basically defined/discussed?

*collecting information from WP 5.1 task 1, 2 (including WP4)

*analysing, synthesizing

*recommendations

Structure and protocol for multi-scale interoperable Aggregate Intelligence System

How do we handle it?

Regarding transnational aspects: „AIS – issue“ is very important: I need more information: we have to discuss it.

Responsability Methodology Outputs Deadline

MUL and all partners of WP 5.2

*strong reliance on WP4 and 5.2/ TASK 2

*Analysing, finding out the „gaps“- with regard to SSM

planning in SEE

Is there a possibility to find/define a criteria how to manage the issue „clarify “.

How to messure?

* close cooperation with stakeholders of dedicated

regions in SEE

*Recommendation:

Which design/structure of AIS will be needed (or would be the

best one) to feed in existing SSM planning, i.e. to

„contribute, harmonize and improve secure supplying“ in

SEE

I believe: much discussion is needed to checkt this issue
