December 5, 2013
"The sustainability is a key element of marine politics of the EU. If taken advantage of in sustainable way, our seas and the oceans have potential an enormous one in order to promote the innovation, contributing to the blue increase in all Europe. Our esteem are that we could create almost a million and means of new places of work in Europe within 2020". It has said today Maria Damanaki, European commissioner for the marine Transactions and fishing, participating to the initiative "an European strategy for the Economy Blue, conditions for the Blue Increase in the Mediterranean", organized from Federpesca and the Federation of the Sea, than one has held to Rome near the center of Confitarma.
"The stake - it has continued Maria Damanaki - is high. If we will succeed ourselves, we will draw profit from the oceans and seas in health that can create interesting and sustainable places of work for our young people. If we do not make it, we could put this precious resource to risk and the EU will not follow the road that carries in the new blue economy". "All the aspects of the European economy - it has found - are essential in order to face the difficulties of this phase of crisis and the Economy Blue anticipates remarkable opportunities of sustainable economic increase in the marine fields, is asserted is emergent. Innovation and dynamicities at best characterize these withins of the European economy". According to Maria Damanaki, "the blue increase must leave from the institutions and the Member States to go to the E regions to the small and averages enterprises: to work entirety, in order to exceed the current challenges and to assure I use productive and sustainable than our seas and our coasts offer". ""Italy - it has emphasized Maria Damanaki - can make a lot with its 8,000 kilometers of coasts and its Mediterranean traditions. In the course of 2014, Greece and Italy will alternate themselves to the presidency of the EU and this will allow to work on base anniversary for concrete projects. For this they are very happy that 2014 is the year of the Mediterranean".
The Italian marine cluster - Corrado Antonini has remembered, president of honor of the Federation of the Sea, opening the work - always has been favorable to politics of Blue Economy and Blue Growth adopted from the European Union, in "a olistica" optical that it considers the development of all the different truth tied to the sea: tourism, atmosphere, search, fishing, nautical and, naturally, transport. Antonini has then asserted that "European politics of development of the Economy Blue must hold in debit account this complex truth, that it regards all moreover the European States: it is in particular important - it has clarified - than the norms turned to the field correspond in the ways and the times to those adopted to international level, so that situations of smaller competitiveness of the European enterprises are not determined that would end in order to reveal themselves counter-productive".
Remembering that the Italian marine cluster contributes to the economy and the national occupation with a production anniversary direct and indirect assigned pairs to 40 billion euros and about 480.000 between, Luigi Giannini, vice president of Federpesca with delegation to internationalization, ittica row and innovation, have evidenced that "the Economy Blue offers important opportunities of action for the increase: to encourage the investments, guaranteeing clearer prevedibilità, transparency and norms in order to contribute to strengthen the development of the renewable energetic sources and the relative nets; to value protected marine zones and to facilitate investments; to increase the coordination between the administrations in the single regions, through the use of an only instrument in order to conciliate the development of the marine activities, so obtaining the greater simplicity and contained costs more; to increase the cross-border cooperation; protect the atmosphere, through the premature location of the impact and the opportunities for a polyvalent use of the space; to promote the search and the innovation. And in this context - it has concluded Giannini - the section of the peach and the aquaculture will succeed to find clear and concrete answers for an important challenge, that it sees the enterprises all engaged: it is necessary but that in the Mediterranean an uniformity of rules between European and not European operators is assured".
Also Andrea Orlando, minister of the Atmosphere and the protection of the territory and the sea, considers that it is necessary to look to the sea, not only from the point of view of the environmental protection, but also as an economic good: exchanges, numbers and occupational waits of increase confirm it. The topic of the sustainability, must be an element characterizing for a development project, that of the Blue economy and the Blue growth strategy, than sea is based on the valorization of all the factors of the resource. The minister also has remembered that the strategy of blue increase joins in the picture of the policies of the European Union times to stimulate the economic activities tied to the system-sea, and to promote the sustainable increase in the respect of the marine atmosphere and the biodiversity. In this context the topic of the transition is important, that is the change process that hung on the single enterprises and that with suitable industrial policies must be helped to develop new productive models in order to adapt itself to the new requirements of sustainability. Minister Orlando has concluded its participation launch the idea of a national conference on the sea, of which Italy south of the Mediterranean is made promotrice also for the development of new systems of relation with the Countries of the side.
Guido Milana, to europarlamentare member of the Commission Peach of the European Parliament, has emphasized the requirement that Italy is adapted as soon as possible to the introduced models of marine spatial planning by now for a long time from the European Union, essential things in order to obtain turned out. Moreover, with reference to the marine peach, according to Milana it is important to look to the policies to put into effect in dynamic terms and not of pure conservation of the ittici stocks: to not only look to the sea as a mine from which capturing, but as to a great field to cultivate. Also second europarlamentare is a urgent problem of governance: the marine activities in Italy - it has specified - are very under responsibility of seven ministries while in the other European Countries the importance of the field is recognized with dedicated institutional agencies and therefore in a position to managing in efficient way the various productive activities reported to the sea.
