"With this report, we can clearly see the potential that the European Union (EU) could gain from a more integrated maritime policy, that would replace fragmented and specific measures with more consistent proposals. In its Green Paper, the Commission scarcely managed it, but let us acknowledge that we are not helping much with this overlong and insufficiently structured report.
I will recall four main challenges to be taken up: reconciling economic development and environmental protection, including issues of maritime safety and marine biodiversity; making a success of coastal development to reconcile the economic and natural activities of the port and residential areas; moving from a traditional economy towards new sectors with high added value, such as marine biotechnologies and new energy sources; establishing effective governance, that political and administrative challenge on which the success of the whole depends.
There certainly exists real potential for development of activities linked with the sea, which today represent 3% to 5% of the European Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but setting all that to music will be difficult and will require efficient coordination.
In this report, the EU is a pioneer and is showing off its ambitions. It remains to find the means to pass from this vision to an integrated policy."@en1
