WHICH MARITIME SPATIAL PLANS EXIST?

There is currently no national legally binding Maritime Spatial Plan in Romania. Nevertheless, main advances in MSP have been achieved through several European projects in which Romania has been involved, such as MARSPLAN BS I and II. The second project is currently ongoing and should lead to considerable inputs for the Romanian maritime spatial planning (01 July 2019 - 30 June 2021).

It should also be noted that Romania has been highly active in the field of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM). One regional (undertaken in the scope of the PlanCoast project) and four local MSPs were finalised before 2014 under the ICZM principle (national law).  

MSP LEGISLATION

Romania transposed Directive 2014/89/EU of the European Parliament into national legislation through Law no. 88/2017 related to the approval of Government Ordinance no. 18/2016 on maritime spatial planning.

NATIONAL MSP AUTHORITY

Since 2015, the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Administration Ministry of Development, Public Works and Administration, has assumed the responsibility as the Competent Authority to prepare the MSP national legislation and regulations, nominate MSP authorities and implement the MSP Directive.
