Territorial cohesion and water management in Europe: the spatial perspective
-
This report considers the links between water
management in the EU — especially the
implementation of the Water Framework Directive
(WFD) — and territorial cohesion (1), in the
perspective of spatial analysis (2) and spatial
planning (3). It looks at the role of spatial analysis
and planning for the implementation of the Directive
as well as related provisions such as the Floods Directive and the development and implementation
of River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs). It
considers links between Regional Policy (4) and
water management in the EU, including the
lessons from a spatial perspective. It further looks
at cross‑country cooperation, a key element of
both the WFD and territorial cohesion and finally
considers future challenges for implementation of
the Directive and the development of RBMPs, in
particular considering the spatial context.

The changing faces of Europe's coastal areas
-
This report provides information on the state of the
environment in the coastal areas of Europe, and
provides evidence of the need for a more integrated,
long-term approach. Since 1995, concern about the
state of Europe's coastline has led to a number of EU
initiatives, which build on the concept of integrated
coastal zone management (ICZM). ICZM attempts
to balance the needs of development with protection
of the very resources that sustain coastal economies.
It also takes into account the public's concern about
the deteriorating environmental, socio-economic and
cultural state of the European coastline.
