"Mr President, I believe that the report clearly demonstrates the challenges posed by the marine environment in terms of fisheries, aquaculture, transport, tourism, energy, mining and biological resources, and climate change research. There is considerable potential for development, and it should be safeguarded, protected and enhanced in a lasting way, because the future of the human race depends on it. The report also rightly notes that the European Union is the world’s leading maritime power and that its outermost regions ensure that it has the world’s largest exclusive economic zone.
Therefore, in the light of such a finding, it is the European Union’s responsibility to implement an ambitious policy, a major maritime policy. If the world’s leading maritime power does not do so, who will? It must be said, however, that the resolution does not go very far in this direction. One cannot claim to be the world’s leading policymaker with only EUR 50 million.
Lastly, although the outermost regions have a recognised strategic position due to their presence in every ocean, it would have been sensible to make them play a leading role in a major strategy for the oceans. Unfortunately, this was not taken up by the rapporteur, and I regret that."@en1
