2.1.1 POLITICAL COMMITMENT
This chapter explains how to establish political commitment for the harmonization process.
SUMPs and SECAPs are based on formal political commitment from the local authority’s political decision makers. Therefore, all necessary activities for the harmonization will be triggered by the decision makers, typically the Mayor, who should be informed about the potential and benefits of harmonization by informed stakeholders and by senior officers working for the local authority.
