summary
The European Parliament adopted the resolution by Mrs Patricia McKENNA (Greens/EFA, IRE) on the Council's common position. However, it was subject to several amendments which relate in particular to the Member States' report to the Commission on the experience in implementation of this Recommendation 45 months after its adoption as opposed to five years as stated in the common position. In addition, the Commission should review this Recommendation within 55 months following the date of its adoption and submit to the European Parliament and the Council an evaluation report accompanied if appropriate by a proposal for further Community action. The Council in its common position has specified six years. Lastly, Parliament insists that there is a need to ensure coherent action at European level, including cooperative action and consultation with regional seas organisations, such as the International Maritime Organisation, to address cross-border coastal zone problems. Parliament also takes into consideration the increasing frequency and violence of storms and the need to include protection of coastal settlements and their cultural heritage.�

summary
The Council accepted in full, in substance or in part 32 of the 41 amendments approved by the European Parliament. Those it accepted in part relate to: - characteristics and problems of coastal zones; - a new recital on fishing activities; - a new recital on growth; - on stocktaking; - on National Strategies; - on future EU legislation; - on information to the public; - on public participation; - on the Commission review. In many of these amendments the common position has omitted any reference to "binding" provisions. Amendments accepted by the Commission but not by the Council refer to: - adding a reference to the International Maritime Organisation; - adding reference to increased pressure on coastal zones; - adding a reference to coastal erosion and flooding; - on national strategies; - on the need to enforce existing conventions with neighbouring countries; - on evaluation by the Member States of compliance with Community law. Some other minor modification have been introduced in order to clarify or add details to the Commission proposal. On the whole though the Council has tried to maintain the overall orientation of the text.�

summary
The Commission has reviewed Parliamentary amendments in relation to a European Parliament and Council Recommendation for the Implementation of an Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) in Europe. The Commission appears, by and large, satisfied with the amendments accepting most in total, rejecting a few and accepting the rest partially or in principle. The general leitmotiv throughout its assessment is that any wording which obliges Member States to enact specific actions is withdrawn. The Commission reminds Parliament that it is proposing a Recommendation and not a Directive. In line with this reasoning the Commission also rejects Parliamentary amendments obliging the Commission, after three years, to propose a Community legal framework for ICZM. Rather, as in the original text, the Commission will submit an evaluation report. For the rest the Commission accepts, inter alia, the following in full: - the amendment mentioning threats posed to the coastal zone as a result of global warming; - the amendment noting the significant decline of fishing activity and related employment in terms of increased vulnerability of fisheries dependant areas; - the amendment mentioning the threat to environmental equilibrium posed by population growth and development of certain economic activities; - the amendment stressing the link between climate change and problems in coastal zone; - the amendment mentioning the role of spatial planning policy as an aspect of ICZM. Amendment explaining the precautionary principle and the need to consider both present and future generations; - the amendment explaining the adaptive management principle and stressing the need to facilitate adjustment as problems and knowledge develop; - the amendment explaining the local specificity principle, stressing the need for specific solutions and flexible measures to respond to the diversity of coastal zones in Europe; - the amendment explaining the principle of support and involvement of all relevant administrative bodies, stressing the need for links between levels and sectors and the need for policy coronations; - the amendment inserting a new principle related to the need to ensure coherence between sectoral plans that are already in preparation; - the amendments on stocktaking, which will cover the role of elected local officials and interregional organisations. Commission also accepts that several additional sectors should be considered in stocktaking, such as aquaculture and maritime safety. Amendments which allows for public participation on the development of national strategies. Overall the Commission is satisfied that the European Parliament's amendments clarify and strengthen the text of the Recommendation and has changed the text accordingly.�

summary
PURPOSE: to identify the need for an Integrated Coastal Zone Management system in Europe. CONTENT: Council Resolution 94/135/EC on a Community Strategy, for integrated coastal-zone management (ICZM) and Council Recommendation 92/59/EC on the future Community policy concerning the European coastal zone both identify the need for concerted European action to implement ICZM. Against this background, the proposal recommends that the Member States should commit to a common vision for the future of their coastal zones, based on: - durable economic opportunities; - a functioning social and cultural system in local communities; - adequate open land for future enjoyment and aesthetics; - the integrity of the ecosystem, and sustainable management of the living and non-living resources of both the marine and terrestrial components of the coastal zone, and - in the case of remote costal areas, their full incorporation into the European mainstream. Furthermore, Member States should adopt the principles of good coastal zone management as identified in the Commission's Demonstration Programme on Integrated Coastal Zone Manangement, namely that coastal zone management should be based on: - a broad "holistic" perspective (thematic and geographic); - a long term perspective; - adaptive management (responding to new information and conditions) during a gradual process; - local specificity; - working with natural processes; - participatory planning; - support and involvement of all relevant administrative bodies; - use of a combination of instruments. Finally, Member States should conduct a national stocktaking to analyse which actors, laws and institutions influence the planning and management of their coastal zone. Based on the results, the Member States should then develop a National Strategy to implement the principles for integrated manangement of the coastal zone. Member States should enter into dialogue with neighbouring countries, including non-Member States in the same regional sea, to establish mechanisms for better coordination of responses to cross-border issues. In conclusion, Member States should report to the Commission on the experience in implementation of this Recommendation two years after its adoption.�
