conference: THE NEW EUROPEAN MARITIME POLICY
- The Political Green Paper Debate -
Thursday 23 November 2006, Brussels
Brussels Marriott Hotel
introduction
Following the overwhelming success of The New European Maritime Policy Forum held November last year http://www.mareforum.com/new_european_maritime_policy.htm
Mare Forum and the Dutch Maritime Network, together in close cooperation with the European Commission and the European Network of Maritime Clusters, are organising a logical sequel and progress report to the topic of The New European Maritime Policy Forum - The Political Green Paper Debate.
The European Commission adopted in June 2006 the Green Paper on a European Maritime Policy. This Green Paper will be the subject of many debates in member states and beyond, in national parliaments and the European Parliament, within European and International maritime trade organisations and industries, and many more. In order to kick-start the European political debate on the Green Paper, Mare Forum together with the Dutch Maritime Network, the European Network of Maritime Clusters, and in close cooperation with the European Commission, organises a second high-level conference in Brussels on Thursday 23 November 2006.
Commissioner Joe Borg and Commissioner Stavros Dimas will deliver keynote addresses.
This Forum will have three debating sessions: Session 1: European Parliament and Member States Parliament perspectives The New European Maritime Policy – A shared vision for Europe?
Session 2: European Maritime Industry perspective Critical success factors of an integrated European Maritime Policy.
Session 3: From Green Paper to a European Action Plan http://www.mareforum.com/European_Policy_Green_Paper_Debate.htm
and http://europa.eu.int/comm/fisheries/maritime/index_en.htm
This conference is organised by Mare Forum and the Dutch Maritime Network in association with the European Network of Maritime Clusters
supported by the European Commission
We look forward to welcoming you in Brussels,
