"Mr President, Commissioner, the European Union’s Baltic Sea strategy has already inspired other regions, such as the regions adjoining the River Danube. Likewise, all the regions included in the Atlantic Arc –and I would like to highlight the particularly active role being played by my home region, Cantabria, in Spain – have been working to promote cooperation in areas of common interest within the framework of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions since 1989.
Commissioner, we believe the time has come to formulate an Atlantic strategy as soon as possible. This should be defined as part of the Europe 2020 strategy to protect the environment and biodiversity, fight climate change, promote sustainable urban and rural development, stimulate the responsible growth of the knowledge economy, tourism, marine research and innovation, renewable energies, sea transport and training, to improve access to our territories by developing new sea routes, improve infrastructure networks and develop information and communication technologies, and to encourage online working.
As the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe (CPRM) has rightly said – and I should like to thank this institution for all its good work – the current economic crisis, coupled with the need to take action against the challenge of climate change, opens the way to a new, genuinely sustainable development model in the European Union. This strategy is important for the regions included in the Atlantic Arc, but not just for them: it is important for the EU as a whole."@en1
