Plan 1) INTRODUCTION 2) THE MEDITERRANEAN SUSTAINABLE FRAMEWORK 3) THE NEW MEDITERRANEAN SUSTAINABLE PORT GOVERNANCE 4) CONCLUSION 2
THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA REPRESENTS LESS THAN 1 % OF THE TOTAL SURFACE OF OCEANS THE LARGEST EUROPEAN SEA ADJOINING 7 EUROPEAN MEMBER STATES and ROUGHLY 10 THIRD COUNTRIES 3
THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA 28 % OF ENDEMIC SPECIES 7.5 % OF WORLDWIDE FAUNA AND 18 % OF MARINE WILDLIFE = AN EXCEPTIONAL MARINE AND COASTAL BIODIVERSITY 4

THE MEDITERRANEAN PORT STAKES THREE MAIN CHALLENGES: LIBERALISATION OF ECONOMY MODERNISATION OF PORT FACILITIES GROWTH OF CONTAINER TRAFFIC 8
A NEW GOVERNANCE OF MEDITERRANEAN PORTS STATUTORY REFORMS FOR SEVERAL MARITIME PORTS (Northern and Southern Mediterranean) A STRONG AND ON-GOING MOVEMENT A long list: = Italy, Spain, Greece, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Turkey, France A LONG PROCESS 9

A WIDE FRAMEWORK TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE FRAGILE MEDITERRANEAN ECOSYSTEM A NON- COMPULSORY FRAMEWORK A COMPULSORY FRAMEWORK 15
THE NON-COMPULSORY FRAMEWORK THE UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME - UNEP THE MEDITERRANEAN ACTION PLAN & BARCELONA CONVENTION1975 THE BARCELONA CONVENTION UPDATES1995 THE BARCELONA PROCESS THE MEDITERRANEAN COMMISSION ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 1996 16
THE NON-COMPULSORY FRAMEWORK THE UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (tbc) THE SHORT AND MEDIUM-TERM ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION PROGRAMME 1997 THE EUROPEAN NEIGHBOURING POLICY 2004 THE MEDITERRANEAN STRATEGY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 2005 17
THE NON-COMPULSORY FRAMEWORK THE UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMME (tbc) HORIZON 2020 INITIATIVE THE STRATEGIC ACTION PROGRAMME 2005 THE EUROPEAN NEIGHBOURHOOD AND PARTERNSHIP INSTRUMENT 2007

IMPROVING INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCE AND WATER DEMAND MANAGEMENT ENSURING SUSTANAIBLE MANAGEMENT OF ENERGY AND MITIGATING OF AND ADAPTING TO THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ENSURING SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE MANAGEMENT OF TRANSPORT 19
THE MAIN OBJECTIVES PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE TOURISM PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF THE MED SEA AND COASTAL ZONES 20
THE MAIN OBJECTIVES AND TAKING URGENT ACTION TO PUT AN END TO THE DEGRADATION OF COASTAL ZONES TARGET SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND APPROXIMATION TO EU POLICIES AND STANDARDS 21
THE COMPULSORY RULES THE EUROPEAN LEGISLATION: DIRECTIVE 92/43/ECC of 21 MAY 1992 ON THE CONSERVATION OF NATURAL HABITATS AND WILD FAUNA AND FLORA DIRECTIVE 2009/147/EC of 30 NOVEMBER 2009 ON THE CONSERVATION OF WILD BIRDS DIRECTIVE 85/337/EEC of 27 JUNE 1985 ON THE ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTS OF CERTAIN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROJECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT EIA DIRECTIVE 2000/59/EC of 27 NOVEMBER 2000 ON PORT RECEPTION FACILITIES FOR SHIP-GENERATED WASTE AND CARGO RESIDUES 22

EUROPEAN PORTS LEADING THE WAY THE ESPO ENVIRONMENTAL CODE OF PRACTICE 1994 2003 = ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY CODE 10 «GREEN» COMMANDMENTS = RECOMMENDED ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES www.espo.be 26
EUROPEAN PORTS LEADING THE ECOPORTS FOUNDATION: = A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION SET UP IN 2000 A NETWORK PLATFORM WHERE EUROPEAN PORT ADMINISTRATIONS EXCHANGE ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERIENCE www.ecoports.com 27
NEW ENVIRONMENTAL BODIES SOME KEY EXAMPLES: THE AGENCY FOR THE COASTAL PROMOTION AND PROTECTION ALGERIA THE NATIONAL AGENCY OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - TUNISIA THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDIES - MOROCCO 28
A NEW ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SOME KEY EXAMPLES: DIAGNOSIS TOOLS TRAINING PROGRAMMES POLLUTER PAYS PRINCIPLE 29
A NEW ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT STRINGENT PROCESS: MONITORING SANCTIONS COMPENSATION 30
NEW SUSTAINABLE ACTIONS A VOLUNTARY COMMITMENT AND SELF- REGULATION: TANGIER MED PORT: ISO 14001 CERTIFICATION MARINE GREEN DAYS ORGANISED BY TUNISIAN PORTS 31
Plan 1) INTRODUCTION 2) THE MEDITERRANEAN SUSTAINABLE FRAMEWORK 3) THE NEW MEDITERRANEAN SUSTAINABLE PORT GOVERNANCE 4) CONCLUSION 32
THE CHALLENGE FOR MEDITERRANEAN PORTS IMPROVEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE AN EQUAL PROTECTION FOR BOTH THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN SHORES! 33
HOW TO ACCELARATE THE PORT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT? OPRC, ISPS & BLU Codes HAVE DEMONSTRATED THEIR RELEVANT SYSTEMIC APPROACH INTEGRATING ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN A COMPULSORY IMO CODE: «IPSEM Code» International Port Safety & Environmental Protection Code 34
CONCLUSION A SYSTEMIC APPROACH FOR MARITIME & PORT FACILITIES: IN GLOBAL CONTEXT & CHALLENGES THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO IMPROVE SAFETY, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION TO GIVE OPERATORS A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY AND PROMOTE A FAIR PLAYING FIELD! 35
