Why streamline?
Make HELCOM more• effective• flexible• responsive
![Page 5: The new HELCOM Key results from the streamlining process 2013-14 Photo: Francisco Alvarez Bao.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c935503460f9494eb75/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1. Better focus • Where HELCOM has
clear added value• Better planning -
clear deliverables• Target (policymakers
are No. 1)• Improved
documentation
Less issues raised, but more visibility!

2. Country ownership
• Strengthen HELCOM’s role as a policy-maker for regional cooperation
• Synchronizing with other policies and legislation • Create ‘conditions’ for CP’s to engage more

3. Reaching out to other sectors and processes
• mainstreaming marine protection to other policies
• address obstacles in delayed implementation• Incorporate socio-economic considerations

How the groups can put all this into practice?
By following the new HELCOM Roadmap, with exact timelines until 2021
![Page 14: The new HELCOM Key results from the streamlining process 2013-14 Photo: Francisco Alvarez Bao.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c935503460f9494eb75/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How to do it in practice • Common format for groups’ working plans • Policy documents more concise and to the
point• More video conferences

Improving efficiency
1. Transparent and timely reporting and presentation of monitoring data2. Capture important topics for the countries into working groups’ work3. One responsible actor for leading a specific item4. A consultation plan

More means for efficiency• longer term planning for reporting e.g. HELCOM
recommendation, new BSAP follow up under preparation
• Seek synergies - lead countries and joint working groups/meetings/outputs with other bodies, in particular OSPAR
