  9. Post Erika and post Prestige national and european exchange of experience & improved preparedness projects National EC Regional France (3): - during response to Prestige spill: - exchange of experience meetings and workshops - meetings and visits of European experts - as a consequence of Prestige spill : - involvement of Cedre in Spanish projects: Continmar, ESEOO,… - joint response to EC call for projects: Spreex, OSH,… - from a French network (Ritmer) to a European one: AMPERA - and other spills: - oil spills (Tricolor,…) - illegal discharges - HNS in bulk: Ievoli Sun, Ece - containers: Napoli,… Saferseas - Brest - Tuesday 9th of October 2007

  10. Post Erika and post Prestige national and european exchange of experience & improved preparedness projects National EC Regional Spain : - as a consequence of Erika spill: - development of co-operations with France - during the Prestige spill: - AEU 2003: special actions on the Prestige spill (9 projects) - as a consequence of Prestige spill : - VEM: a 3 years strategic action on AMP (76 projects) - CONTINMAR - ESEOO -… - CEPRECO: a new centre dedicated to AMP - involvement of CEDEX in AMP - joint response to EC call for projects: Spreex, OSH,… - from a Spanish network to a European one: AMPERA Saferseas - Brest - Tuesday 9th of October 2007

  11. Context : during Prestige crisis, as it had not been planned, responders did not consider useful to involve scientific expertise available in Galicia Reaction : proposals of several R&D projects, including Continmar, aiming at showing very practically how the scientific community could assist in the improvement of contingency plans start : january 2004 Desarrollo de elementos, herramientas, protocolos de actuación, y de un sistema de información para el diseño de planes de contingencia ante vertidos marinos accidentales Development of elements, tools, protocols for activation and of an information system for developing contingency plans for fighting against AMP

  12. Interest of French involvement in Continmar • For Spain : access to the French experience, allowing a better orientation for strategic choices. • For France : possibility of transfering experience and tools • For both : better prospects for compatibility between approaches et mutual knowledge, useful for facilitating exchanges in case of a transborder spill Continmar follow-up • ESEOO • EROCIPS • ….

  13. ESEOO Project: A Contribution to the Establishment of an Operational Oceanography System at Spanish Coastal Waters • Prestige crisis highlighted the existence of gaps in some aspects of the Spanish Operational Oceanography (OO): • Neither currents nor oil spill operational forecasting systems • Some groups improvised effective solutions during the crisis, showing their technical capabilities • ESEOO Project create a large consortium to: • Take advantage of the mentioned capabilities • Fill the observed existing gaps • Boost OO in Spain

  14. Partners: • Université de Saint-Jacques • Université de la Cantabrie • Puertos del Estado • Sasemar • Université de La Corogne • Institut Nacional de Météorologie • CEDRE • MétéoFrance, etc.

  15. Post Erika and post Prestige national and european exchange of experience & improved preparedness projects National EC Regional • Belgium • 2 programmes (SPSD 1 and 2) between 1998-2006. Budget of 2.700.000 and 3.300.000 €. Science for a Sustainable Development launch for the period 2005-2013. • Estonia • No specific programmes. 6 projects and 610.000 € for 2005. • Ireland • Marine RTDI measure in the National Development Plan, but no specific AMP research. • Norway • 2 specific programmes. MAROFF, 2002-2009 and PROOF, 2002-2008. • United Kingdom • 9 R&D themes developed since 1990. One specific programme for the Sea Empress. Total budget for the R&D during the period 1990-2005, around 31.000.000 €. Saferseas - Brest - Tuesday 9th of October 2007

  16. Post Erika and post Prestige national and european exchange of experience & improved preparedness projects National programmes and projects National EC Regional Developed fields : Type of pollutants taken into account in national R&D programmes and projects on AMP Programmes funding on AMP within 8 European countries (AMPERA partners) Saferseas - Brest - Tuesday 9th of October 2007

  17. Post Erika and post Prestige national and european exchange of experience & improved preparedness projects MAIN POINTS : National EC Regional • Disparities between countries on the R&D programmation organisation (development of specific programmes, development of theme with a definition of priorities) and on the budget assigned. • R&D thematic developed appears to be mainly the impact after incidents (Erika, Prestige). Recent R&D enhancement in the Detection and monitoringtechnologies field. • Few examples of Co-operative R&D between European countries (in connection with national programmes). • Budgets assigned to AMP need to be clarified and unified.
