"The European Union’s coastline extends for 320 000 km, and economic activities at sea and on the coast account for 40% of our gross domestic product. In addition to this, 40% of trade within Europe and 95% of exports to outside Europe are carried out by sea. These figures amply demonstrate the importance of the sea and, consequently, the importance of a maritime policy that is cross-cutting and integrated, and that enables us to make full use of the sea’s potential as an economic and energy resource, as a creator of employment and wealth, and as an engine for competitiveness and innovation. As a Portuguese, I am naturally an advocate of the sea and I recognise its huge potential during this time of crisis. Portugal has always looked to the sea during difficult times. For that very reason, and in these difficult times, I believe that a clear and decisive commitment to the sea and to its full strategic and economic potential is vital."@en1
