The process of drafting a broader EU Maritime Security Strategy
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos presented before the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee (AFET) in Strasbourg the developments in the process of drafting an EU Maritime Security Strategy.
Minister Venizelos said, inter alia: “Our aim is for the EU Maritime Security Strategy to broaden the so far one-dimensional perspective of maritime security, which is now somehow military and police oriented, by including the following:
1.
enhancing the economic growth and competitiveness of the European economies,
2. unhindered conduct of trade and transport by sea,
3. energy security,
4. port security,
5. security of the EU external borders,
6. securing biodiversity
7. a very crucial element, also according to the relevant Commission/EEAS
Communication, into which the competent Commissioner, Maria Damanaki, has put
enormous effort, is the promotion of the importance of full compliance with
UNCLOS and of the potential for growth that maritime zones – such as the
continental shelf and the Exclusive Economic Zone in the European Union and
especially in the Mediterranean – hold.”
