Swedish PoM 2009-2015 37/38 measures concerning public authorities and municipalities • New rules and instructions • Planning, strategies, priorities • Investigations • New permits and licenses • Improvemonitoring • Consulting/advise EnvironmentalProetction Agency, Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (nr 2-8) Swedish Geological Survey (nr 9-12) Swedish Transport Administration (nr 13, 27) Swedish National Board ofHousing, Building and Planning (nr 14) Swedish Board ofAgriculture (nr 15-17) Kammarkollegiet (nr 18 Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (nr 19) Riksantikvarieämbetet (nr 20) Skogsstyrelsen (nr 21) Statens Livsmedelsverk (nr 22) Statistiska Centralbyrån (nr 23) Swedish Meteorological and HydrologicalInstitute (nr 24-26) County administrative boards (21) (nr 28-31) Municipalities (290) (nr 32-37) Nordic/Irish workshop on measure library

  3. EU-commissionexamine Swedish PoM:s • The general scope of the application of measures is divided between a national scale (agencies etc), on RBD level and on water body level. • The main authorities responsible for the implementation are authorities at the national level, and a big role is played by regions and the municipalities. • It should be noted, that a large number of institutions are involved, making the administrative set-up difficult to overview and to some extend not transparent.

  5. Howtohandle in PoM 2015 -2021? • Swedish PoM:s 2015-2021 will still concern public authorities and municipalities • National council ofmeasures for WFD (aiming at streamliningwith MSFD, BSAP etc) Nordic/Irish workshop on measure library

  6. EU-commissionexamine Swedish PoM:s • Sweden needs to improve its programme of measures to be more explicit on the specific measures that are being planned, to enable a transparent planning tool showing how the environmental objectives can be met in a coordinated manner across the RBDs. • Meaningful information regarding the scope, the timing and the funding of the measures should be included in the programme of measures so the approach to achieve the objectives is clear.

  7. EU-commissionexamine Swedish PoM:s • There is no clear link between status assessment and the need for pressure reduction (nutrients, chemical pollutants and hydromorphology) and measures. • Many of the measures are "administrative" (new investigations, monitoring etc).

  12. Additional measures in protected areas • The RBMP does not clearly identify the protected areas, which will not reach the more • stringent objectives according to other directives.. On the other hand, it is stated in the • RBMPs, that the PoM should also cover the needs for improvement in protected areas – • indicating that the measures to be taken should also ensure the fulfilment of the more • stringent objectives related to other directives. • In SE 5 it is stated that the favourable conservation status for NATURA 2000 areas have not • been used as a more stringent objective in the RBMP’s, as the status assessment regarding • NATURA 2000 areas has not yet been quality assured. It is mentioned, that the line between • good and poor ecological status according to the RBMP usually is a good indicator for a • favourableconservation status too. • Regarding the protection of drinking water, a number of administrative measures to support • the basic measures are mentioned in the RBMP’s, but not defined as supplementary or • additional. Examples are collection and storage of information, monitoring, planning, • statistics etc. Nordic/Irish workshop on measure library
