Workshop tasks: Complimentary Measures1. What are the 3 most effective complementary measures?
2. What do you see as the 3 most appropriate complimentary measures? (Effectiveness / how easy to implement / public acceptance)
3. Arguments for implementing these measures
4. Potential barriers? Who will be against?
5. How to overcome the barriers? How can people who don‘t like it be convinced?
