".
Our coastal zones have been in continual decline for many years now, and the efforts of Member States to tackle this phenomenon vary according to the policies that the governments decide to pursue. Some countries, such as France, do not make land planning a political priority. The decline of our coastal zones is often a result of this reprehensible wait-and-see policy.
The problems encountered, both on land, such as demography, road networks and housing, and at sea, such as oil discharges, excess algae for instance, are shared problems. Europe therefore has a duty to play a specific role in initiating and drive policy-making in this area.
We must, of course, take the various geographical areas into account. No one coastal zone is the same as another. We must urge the Member States concerned to carry out a national inventory, to put in place a genuine preservation strategy that is coordinated at local level and guided at national level and to apply Community legislation that has an impact on coastal zones."@en1
