This REGULATION proposal is in accordance with Article 192(2b) of TFEU, because measures of the proposal are affecting: town and country planning, quantitative management of water, resources, or affecting, directly or indirectly, the availability of those resource, agriculture land use and forestry matters. The form of DIRECTIVE (instead of Regulation) would better reflect existing the MSs’ national legislation and avoid unnecessary administrative burden. As DIRECTIVE proposal is in accordance with Article 192(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The proposal is not compatible with the principle of subsidiarity and proportionality because it exceeds what is necessary to achieve the objectives of the proposal (for example: national forestry, and water plans, management, etc). 2.
