EU Commission Initiates Discussion on Prospective Mediterranean Sea Facilities of Union
The European Commission has announced the development of two new policy frameworks: the EU Ports Strategy and the EU Industrial Maritime Strategy. These strategies aim to equip Europe's ports and waterborne industries for the clean and digital energy transition, making them globally competitive and future-ready.
The high-level Strategic Dialogues, hosted by Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, in Brussels, marked a significant step in the process of creating these strategies. Industry representatives from ports, shipbuilding, shipping, inland waterways, and related sectors participated in these dialogues, aiming to help identify shared priorities and inform the content of both strategies.
The EU Ports Strategy will focus on maintaining ports' long-term competitiveness, addressing issues such as security, energy transition, and sustainability. The EU Industrial Maritime Strategy, on the other hand, is intended to support shipbuilding, maritime manufacturing, and shipping, with an emphasis on competitiveness, resilience, and the green and digital transition.
However, the specific aspects of clean energy transition, digital transition, defense, and trade that these strategies will focus on have not been specified. The EU is committed to listening to the sector's needs and ambitions to help shape a future-ready Europe.
The EU strategies also emphasize the importance of broad stakeholder input. By working together, the EU aims to strengthen Europe's ports and maritime sectors, supporting them in leading the clean energy transition and making them globally competitive. The strategies will also aim to support Europe's ports and industries in defense and trade.
In conclusion, the EU Ports Strategy and the EU Industrial Maritime Strategy are ambitious initiatives aimed at transforming Europe's ports and maritime industries for a sustainable future. As the details of these strategies unfold, the EU remains committed to working closely with industry representatives to ensure a successful transition towards a cleaner, more digital, and more competitive Europe.
