NCCZ in practice
• Meetings now every month, many projects:– Procedure for which projects need advice is unclear:
too many (small/irrelevant to ICZM) projects are discussed.
– Procedure for timing of advice from NCCZ unclear: before or after carrying out EIA and/or approval from local authorities?
• Difficult to gather 2/3 of representatives (46 persons/40 organisations). Therefore often delays of meetings, resulting in pressure from project owners.

PTS and WGs in practice
• No budget for PTS / WGs: all work done on ‘voluntary’ basis by NIMRD and DADL.
• Now only 2 WGs established. Procedures unclear: officially members of NCCZ are members of WG, while specific experts are needed.
• PTS only administrative role, wishes a more technical supportive role as well.
• Inventory of tasks of NCCZ: Existing law requires elaboration of >40 tasks resulting in legal-technical documents by various govt. institutions. WGs and PTS to prepare drafts.
