2. WP4 Regional and National level Activities - Description WP will develop regional/national approachesto implementing SARM and SSM. It is the central thematic WP, where bottom-up best practices for resource efficiency and top-down strategic plans for transnational harmonization of policies and legislation intersect. Relevant regional/national legislation, regulations, procedures and bottlenecks will be studied. A framework for SARM will be created, discussed with interested and affected groups at workshops on multiple scales, and then serve as the basis for more effective management and implementation of legislation, inclusion of aggregates in land use planning, and harmonization of regulations. Planning for secure SSM will be based on regional/national studies that consider nature conservation, water resources and transportation, as well as a GIS of supply-relevant data. Plans and recommendations for SSM will reflect economic and strategic importance of the sector.

3. Activity 4.1 • Description • Sustainable aggregate resource management (SARM): • review regional/national legislation and relevant EU Directives and documents on aggregates management, incl. implementation procedures and bottlenecks • b) create framework for SARM during synthesis • c) conduct workshops at multiple scales (see also WP1, 2, 5) • d) develop plan for harmonization of effective management & planning (seeAct.4.2c)) • e) create recommendations(see Act.4.2 d) and WP5) • Role of partners: • MBFH as WP lead • allpartners provide information on national/regional legislation and management practices • all partners create common document on current best practices, and • assist with plan for more efficient aggregate management and creation of recommendations. • Geographical location: each partner do a case study for their country (AT, GR, HU, RO, IT ER, HR, BA, SP, AL, SI)

4. Qualitative and quantitative description of the outputs ? Act.4.2

6. Activity 4.2Description • Planning for SSM: • a) conduct case studies on planning for supply in 7 areas, • b) recommend design of GIS for aggregates, to support • c) implementation plans for secure SSM for case study regions, • d) create recommendations on integration of SSM into regional/national legislation, in development and land use planning, and for planning for supply, • e) make regional maps for contiguous SEE nations • Role of partners: • Italy ER coordinates activity and share expertise on GIS • other partners (METE, MUL, PELLA and IGME, MINGORP, FGG, ANPAR, Parma, TUC, and GeoZS) do case studies • appropriate partners create 3 regional reports and 4 country reports • all partners collaboratively develop Implementation plans, GIS, and recommendations. • selected partners create maps

13. Task 2Analysis of national legislation • by: all • Methodology and deadlines: • compilation of a questionnaire and guidance for the management legislation and practice (August 2009) • review and correction of the questionnaire (November 2009) • answers to the questionnaire (April 2010 ????) • analysis of the SEE legislation and practice (September 2010) • outputs and deadlines: • a ca. 10 pages standard questionnaire (November 2009) • 10 country (incl. regional) reports, answers to questionnaire, ca. 20 pages • (April 2010) • - workshop on the discussion of the preliminary results (Bucharest? 2010) • - analytical report on SEE legislation (October 2010) • - summary publication on EU and SEE legislation on aggregates in an international journal (submitted December 2010, published May 2011)

14. Task 3Synthesis of best practices, a SEE (and EU) harmonization initiative • by: selected partners • methodology: • strong reliance on inputs from WP3 and Action 4.2 of WP4 • iterative elaboration of recommendation on integration of SSM into regional/national legislation, in development & land use planning, and for minerals management • establishing a framework on SARM of different levels • Outputs and deadlines: • ca. 40-60 page recommendation document on harmonization initiative of SARM based on best practice case examples with possible solution scenarios on significantly differing deviant national regulatory and policy regimes • (February 2011) • ca. 40-60 page framework scheme on SSM mix and planning based on best practice case examples and pan-SEE synthesis of statistical and GIS analysis • (March 2011) • (or shall these two be treated in one synthesis report?, see WP5)
