Introduction
• Application of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) to Programmes 2007-2013
• The Methodology and the GRDP project
• Monitoring the environmental effects: the idea of an integrated system
The Environmental Authority carried out the SEA on :
• Operational Programme Competitiveness 2007-2013
• Rural Development Plan 2007-2013Developing a methodology based on the Handbook on SEA for Cohesion Policy 2007-2013
(INTERREG IIIC GRDP project)
The aim of GRDP project:Develop a common European methodology for integrating the environment into regional development programmes.
GRDP partners shared good practice and developed advice on integrating the environment into regional development programmes.

End products of GRDP:
• GRDP Charter• GRDP Toolkit
MONITORING THE IMPLEMENTATION of the Plan or Programme
The aim of this step:• To record the information concerning the
significant effects of activities and projects on relevant environmental issues;
• To identify unforeseen adverse effects in order to be able to undertake appropriate remedial actions
SEA Directive requires:• Presentation of monitoring measures in the
environmental report;• Informing relevant authorities and the public about
monitoring measures
The proposed Environmental Integrated Monitoring Strategy 2007-2013
Environmental monitoring of each plan/programme co-funded by EU 2007-2013:
using the monitoring system for the programming document,
incorporating new environmental monitoring
indicators
Create a new environmental monitoring arrangement
aimed to collect environmental data from
all the regional programming documents
2007-2013

When remedial action should be considered
What remedial act could be taken?
Breach of legislation, recognised standards or guidelines
Irreversible damage
Uncertainty over possible adverseeffects
Review aspect of the plan
Develop mitigation measures
Ex. Natura 2000 Regional Guidelines
Ex. Action breaking the ecological connectivity
Set out additional environmental evaluation/selection criteria

The Environmental integrated monitoring system
Data from the different monitoring systems
The indicators will be linked to the environmental issues/concerns and their objectives, localized when appropriate, and weighted.
