"We voted in favour of this resolution so as to ensure the environmental sustainability of the Atlantic regions, particularly the islands of the European Union. These constitute an essential part of its maritime area and are facing problems and specific needs, such as environmental problems.
The case of the Azores is worth noting, as it has the largest Exclusive Economic Zone in the European Union. Under the scope of the present discussion, it is necessary to ensure environmental surveillance of the waters of the Atlantic, as the people of these islands depend on the good environmental condition of their marine waters. It is therefore important to clearly define minimum objectives for environmental quality along with monitoring programmes that can ensure this sound environmental condition.
There is also a need to address the cases mentioned by the rapporteur, such as navigation accidents or plastic bags, which can have devastating consequences for economic, social and environmental sustainability in the Atlantic regions. This calls for the implementation of specific measures appropriate to the environmental and socio-economic reality of the marine ecosystems within the Atlantic.
This is why the signing of such agreements is important for the sustainable development of populations that depend on the Atlantic."@en1
