The association of the European ports, on the base of the outcomes of a survey lead between the fleeting ports of the EU, has identified main problematic and the challenges that must face the crocieristici ports and has announced the intention to define a series of good practical for the field.

Today to Brussels, in the course of the session of opening of the first Pan European Dialogue on Cruise, the president of the European Sea Ports Organisation, Santiago Garcia-Milà, has announced that for everyone of these topics the commission of the association that takes care of the issues of the cruises and the ferries, that recently is constituted, will define a series of good practical.
"The problems of the field of the cruises - the ESPO president has explained - would not have to be faced in isolated way. The crocieristica activity in our ports would have to be on our radar in every political argument that we face: the atmosphere, the governance, the safety, the security and the home market. We must not only estimate the effect of the communitarian political initiatives from the point of view of the goods, but also their impact on the activities of the cruises and the ferries".
Garci'a-Thousand has specified that in order to define the good practical the Harbour Authorities of the European Union they will constitute of the specific working groups, but the others will be opened also to the dialogue with all leave interested: "we will need - it has emphasized - of the support and the contribution of those which they operate in the field".
