"The Atlantic area, covering parts of the UK, Ireland, France, Spain and Portugal, includes a section of my own constituency in south-west England. This report on the subject of cohesion policy strategy in the Atlantic area calls for coordinated action at the EU level, through a macro-regional instrument, to tackle common maritime concerns such as tourism, transport and renewable energy. In my view, any initiatives between the regions concerned should be done on a voluntary basis. An EU Atlantic macro-regional strategy would simply add further bureaucracy, with little positive impact on areas of mutual concern such as biodiversity and carbon emissions. Furthermore, proposals for an EU Coastguard service would merely duplicate existing national provision. Any maritime problems between the regions should be addressed by the forthcoming reform to the common fisheries policy, and specifically through its regionalisation proposal. Given that my own constituents have not called for greater cooperation with the other regions of the Atlantic area, I shall not be supporting this initiative."@en1
