Proposal for a communication on IMP for the Atlantic Ocean sea basin

Coastal development and sustainable maritime tourism were the focus themes of this year's edition of European Maritime Day. For two days in Valletta, Malta, experts from all maritime sectors and from all over Europe discussed how to drive the tourism industry forward and maintain its position not only as a sector for sustainable growth, but also as a crucial driver for the wider economy and a key contributor to the EU's Blue Growth agenda.

Objective of the consultation

In the context of the IMP progress report, the General Affairs Council called for further development of the strategic approaches to regional sea basins where there is a demand and a perspective of clear value added.

In this context, the Commission is currently reflecting on the possible content for a communication on the Atlantic Ocean. Such a communication would only be appropriate if it provides value added and is useful for Atlantic stakeholders. It is for this purpose that the Commission has launched a public consultation.
