Amendment of existing legislation, if necessary, regarding maritime activities through the introduction of a permit regime for activities in marine territorial waters
Introducing eco-labelling (based on existing relevant ecolabels) in aquaculture
Introducing eco-labelling (based on existing relevant ecolabels) in aquaculture
Measure description
The measure refers to the human activities in the marine environment mentioned/listed in art. 8 of Directive 2014/89/EU establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning. The measure does not cover military activities. The measure implementation involves preparatory activities for amending/adapting national legislation if necessary, public and sectoral consultations, and legislation adaptation.
