Actions
To keep the EUSALP Action Plan manageable and to ensure a high level of ownership of the participants, the Action Plan focuses on nine actions which represent the main areas where the Strategy can contribute to delivery at the present stage.
Actions can be of different nature: some may require financial support while others consist of better coordinating national policies and decisions. In a number of cases, actions aim at highlighting the areas where activity is already in progress – either at EU level or in other international frameworks –, but which require enhanced efforts of coordination within the Alpine Region and coherent funding strategies as a condition for success in their implementation. The Strategy provides a unique opportunity in this respect. All actions should be carried out in close coordination with other relevant developments (in particular new regulations), including at EU level, to ensure coherence and efficiency.
