1. SARMa – Sustainable Aggregates Resource Management WP4, Activity 4.1 workplan Tamás Hámor (MBFH) Second consortium meeting 4-5th February 2010, Split, Croatia

2. regional/national approaches WP will develop regional/national approaches to implementing SARM and SSM. central thematic bottom-up best practices for resource efficiency top-down strategic plans for transnational harmonization of policies and legislation 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. legislation Relevant regional/national legislation, regulations, procedures and bottlenecks will be studied. framework for SARM 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 GIS of supply-relevant data 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. recommendations for SSM Plans and recommendations for SSM will reflect economic and strategic importance of the sector.
