APICE common transnational strategy
The Common Transnational Strategy of APICE has moved from the comparison of regional scenarios shared by all partners and local key-stakeholders, with the aim of considering the strategies/techniques to get grip on the EU environmental and maritime directives, of evaluating options for future territorial legislations (i.e. integrate existing urban master-plans and port investments plans) and possible ecofinancing incentives (i.e. blue-flags incentive, Clean Ship Project) to merge environmental and socio-economic needs of port-cities policies and pursue the EU requirements for coasts and sea sustainable management.
