We propose to organize a dialogue between CoR Members, Sea representatives and citizens in order to reflect together about the future maritime policy of the EU. In order to present bottom-up proposals, there is a clear need for coordination between different actors and sectors and cooperation between decision-makers at all levels.
The objectives are the following:
- Analyze where the EU maritime policy stands today and how it affects citizens;
- Promote multilevel cooperation in the maritime sector, pooling expenses and saving time;
- Present the conclusions at the EU level through the Reflecting on Europe mechanism.
As it will be hold in the eve of CAAC’s general assembly, the diversity of EU nationalities among the audience will enrich this citizens’ dialogue with a true transnational dimension.
After the introduction form the moderator, in the first hour each speaker will bring forward their expertise and analysis of the present and future of EU Maritime policy. The last 1,5 hour will be dedicated for the audience to
express their own views, put forward questions, present their projects and make proposals.
