"Mr President, Commissioner, firstly, I wish to thank Mr Cadec for this excellent initiative regarding an Atlantic strategy. Clearly, we will also need this Atlantic strategy in the future. As we have heard in previous speeches, it will establish a very important demarcated area for the European Union, one that will involve issues relating to fishing, transport and energy. I believe that macroregions and macro-regional strategies will also allow us in the Union to fight for these issues and work together.
Since the 1990s, the European Union has supported this territorial cooperation both among the Member States and with third countries bordering on the Union, mainly as part of the Union’s cohesion and foreign policies. Of course, these macro-regional strategies began during the Swedish Presidency, and I hope that they will also bring added value in the future in the areas of international and interregional cooperation.
As has been said, these macro-regional strategies have much to offer, especially in the transport, business and energy sectors. As mentioned in this motion for a resolution, it is important that things go on as they did before with regard to this Atlantic strategy, which is to say that we make use of existing structures and financing. It is simply not necessary to start creating more structures with this macro-regional strategy either.
In this preparatory work, we will need to take account of all regions and actors for us to be able to create genuine synergy for this area of the Atlantic."@en1
