Session 5: Will
our Children suffer because of our Decisions?
The session looks at
how transport policy choices made today enhance or reduce our choices for
the future. We focus on the implementation of EU directives in national SEA
legislation. The Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications' Transport
Policy Report is presented and Nordic transport strategies and their impacts
are compared.
There are 3 presentations in the session:
1. Directives and legislation obligate authorities to assess and
evaluate plans and programs that have significant impacts on people and
nature; Rolf Nyström, Uusimaa Regional Environment Centre, Finland.
2. The Finnish Government's program includes the Transport Policy
Report, aiming at long-term continuity in transport policy;
Mikko Ojajärvi, Ministry of Transport and Communications, Finland.
3. Nordic countries' and road administrations' strategy documents
concerning the transport system up to and after the year 2030.
