Domani a Genova inizierà il Forum delle Guardie Costiere del Mediterraneo

Inizierà domani a Genova il Forum delle Guardie Costiere del Mediterraneo (inforMARE del 28 aprile 2009), di cui pubblichiamo il programma dettagliato. «Il Forum - ha sottolineato l'ammiraglio Pollastrini, comandante generale del Corpo delle Capitanerie di Porto - nasce per uno sviluppo sostenibile delle aree costiere del Mediterraneo e una migliore protezione delle popolazioni interessate. È necessaria un'elevazione degli standard operativi e tecnici dei servizi di Guardia Costiera e delle Amministrazioni Marittime dei paesi del Mediterraneo - obiettivo ultimo del Forum - in vista del perseguimento, in un'ottica condivisa, degli interessi marittimi nazionali e della sicurezza del mare nostrum».

Nei due giorni dei lavori, a sottolineare l'importanza strategica di questo primo summit, interverranno il ministro delle Infrastrutture e Trasporti, Altero Matteoli, il vice presidente della Commissione Europea, Antonio Tajani, e il sottosegretario di Stato agli Esteri, Stefania Craxi.
