Maritime Policies What are we doing ? Acting for better maritime safety Training : Vasco da Gama initiative Promoting views of maritime Regions on ICZM-MSP Promoting maritime industries Promoting marine research in Horizon 2020

Transport Policies What are we doing ? Lack of maritime ambition in the EC proposals to meet EU commitments on carbon emissions. CPMR offers to assist the European Commission in developing a new EU instrument to support Short Sea

TEN-T/CEF and neighbourhood  The CPMR notes the limits regarding the intervention of the CEF outside the EU. Consistent with its high expectations vis-à-vis the EU’s policy towards its neighbours, it should mobilize for a better consideration of neighbouring, pre-accession and candidate countries in EU transport infrastructure policy.
