"I welcome the adoption of the resolution calling for a European strategy covering Europe’s Atlantic regions, including the coastal regions of the Irish Sea from 2014, as is already being put in place for the Danube and the Baltic regions. The aim of such a macro-regional strategy and a related action plan is to better coordinate and to create synergies between all EU policies that affect this area, particularly those relating to marine energy, maritime industries, tourism, employment opportunities for young people in the maritime sector, and the sustainable exploitation of maritime resources. The aim should be to provide a new impetus to coastal areas and their hinterlands. I would point out that Dublin Port welcomed over 85 cruise ships in 2011, worth an estimated EUR 50 million to the city’s economy, as well as hosting the ‘Tall Ships’ event this August. Coming from a Member State that does not have a direct land link to mainland Europe, I particularly welcome the call on the EU to invest in ‘motorways of the seas’. Finally, I agree with the call on Ireland’s EU Presidency to prioritise European Council endorsement of this strategy during its forthcoming term of office."@en1
