Q2b - Public consultation description
Q3a - Regional cooperation
Belgium established iis own monitoring programme for the Belgian part of the North Sea. Belgium is however participating in various international initiatives (eg: EU WG GES and JMP NSCS), as to explore the development of cross border monitoring programmes during the first cycle of the MSFD. In addition, the provisions of the OSPAR convention lead also to a convergence of the monitoring programmes. http://ospar.org/documents/dbase/publications/p00622/p00622_ospar_monitoring_coordination_report.pdf http://ospar.org/content/content.asp?menu=01520838000000_000000_000000
