lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the development of an integrated maritime policy is of vital importance to the Irish, the European and indeed the global economy. As an island-based economy, maritime transport is the cornerstone of Irish industry. Over 99%, and I repeat 99%, in volume terms of all Irish trade is transported by sea. It is estimated that the Irish marine industrial base is responsible for the employment of some 8 000 people generating over EUR 1.5 billion within the economy annually. The sector connects the Irish economy with the rest of Europe and the rest of the world. The sector is strategically vital to my country and to the recovery of the Irish economy. The rapidly evolving nature of the maritime sector requires a unified approach at European level, and the growth in maritime activities such as maritime transport, development, aquaculture and tourism – combined with new uses of the sea such as underwater technologies, offshore renewable energy and the blue biotech – is increasing pressure on an already limited maritime space."@en1
