The Commission has presented its proposals on a ‘vision’ and ‘action plan’ for a future ‘integrated maritime policy’ at EU level. Although it has not been possible to carry out the analysis required (not forgetting that the devil is in the detail), my initial reactions are as follows:
Any initiative in this area must safeguard the Member States’ competence as regards spatial management, in particular its territorial waters and exclusive economic zones (EEZ), as represented for example by: resource exploitation, transport, research, border controls and security, regional planning, the environment, or economic activities such as fishing. That is, we should not have a Trojan horse, under the guise of the so-called principle of subsidiarity, posing a threat to the sovereignty of the Member States.
The ‘sound financial basis’ mentioned for the ‘maritime policy’ should not be created at the expense of the European Fisheries Fund, since new and increased financial means should be allocated to meet the new priorities.
Aquaculture should not be promoted, since that would not achieve optimum results in the fisheries sector in view of its strategic importance for various countries like Portugal; the relevant socio-economic sustainability should be secured by means of suitable policies and financial resources."@en1
