"The EU has a coastline measuring almost 70 000 km and is surrounded by two oceans and four seas. A full 90% of EU external trade and over 40% of internal trade involves sea transport. That is why maritime business is a factor for the EU that cannot be neglected. In future, we can actually expect an increase in its economic significance because the seas are a source of food and energy, provide important trade and transport routes, and are also a key factor in tourist areas of our coastal regions. In addition, the various uses need to be planned in an orderly way, so as to ensure the necessary environmental protection. I have abstained from voting because I would like to see better clarity on the objectives of the programme, as also mentioned by the rapporteur."@en1
