"Mr President, Commissioner, the European’s Union’s Atlantic strategy realises a fundamental objective: an integrated and joined-up approach to Europe’s oceans and seas that is adapted to their specific characteristics. The Atlantic’s distinctive characteristics are the intercontinental dimension, the diversity of its oceanic basins and the fact that it is an ultra-deep ocean. These, along with the historic ties between the countries and regions divided by the Atlantic, are arguments justifying a different approach to it. Its geostrategic position on the border between Europe, Africa and the Americas creates challenges and opportunities for maritime activity on a number of levels, such as the protection and safeguarding of ecosystems, maritime security, the study of climate change, the security and supply of food and energy, etc.
However, it is at the level of the deep ocean that the Atlantic’s great wealth in natural, genetic and mineral resources will be located. In this context, I believe that technological research, development and innovation activity should be implemented that will ensure the exploitation and sustainable management of these resources, under the umbrella of the European Union Atlantic strategy. We need to create a European deep ocean observatory in an area suited to that purpose, such as the Azores."@en1
