| Abstract: | The Wadden Sea is a vulnerable nature area along the coast of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. Minority political parties in the region stand for the protection of the Wadden Sea nature. In the Netherlands, the Frysian National Party (FNP) opposes plans for gas drillings in the Wadden Sea. In Germany, the Südschleswiger Wählerverband (SSW) opposes similar plans for oil drillings. Both FNP and SSW are member of the EFA (European Free Alliance), a pro-European alliance of regional parties in the European Union with a green attitude. Therefore, this research conducts whether the parties participate in the transposition of the European Green Deal (EGD) on regional level in the Wadden Sea Area. There are three phases of participation and nine objectives of participation. However, not all the objectives of participation belong to every category. Remarkable is that influencing decisions is mentioned as the most important objective in every phase. In addition, the SSW is more focused on gathering support and information, maybe to get more power as an opposition party. In addition, the SSW has a more activist and greener progressive attitude, while the FNP is in the political centre and prefers more cooperation. |
