The EU&#8217;s assembly of cities and regions calls for the creation of an <strong>Atlantic macro-region<\/strong> that defines common strategies to boost blue economy priority sectors, including fisheries, commerce, tourism and transport. EU Atlantic regions are located in four Member States: France, Ireland, Portugal and Spain.<\/p>\n<p>The CoR proposals can be found in an opinion led by the Spanish region of Cantabria, to be adopted at this week&#8217;s plenary session.<\/p>\n<p>The Spanish region of Cantabria has presented the opinion &#8216;A new approach to the Atlantic maritime strategy \u2013 Atlantic action plan 2.0&#8217; . It includes a list of concrete proposals to strengthen cooperation between EU Atlantic regions, amongst which is the creation of an Atlantic macro-region.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Atlantic regions are facing a twofold economic crisis. Firstly, the yet to be quantified consequences of Brexit for fisheries, tourism, trade and transport. Secondly, the impact generated by COVID-19, which includes a drastic reduction in mobility with specific effect on infrastructure, maritime links, logistics chains and the tourism industry. The creation of an Atlantic macro-region would greatly strengthen the alliance between Atlantic regions in order to better face the challenges brought on by COVID-19 and Brexit, said Paula Fern\u00e1ndez Via\u00f1a, regional minister for the Presidency, Home Affairs, Justice and External Action of the Government of Cantabria.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The opinion gathers concrete measures including, among others:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The creation of an Atlantic macro-region according to the multi-level governance model of the Alpine macro-region.<\/li>\n<li>The inclusion of fishing, shellfish and aquaculture as a pillar in the Atlantic Action Plan (APP), since the supply of seafood products is a Green Deal priority.<\/li>\n<li>The extension of scope of the sea motorways in the Atlantic, allowing new connections between ports, emphasizing its strategic value in connecting Ireland with the continent in the post-Brexit scenario.<\/li>\n<li>The harmonization of public funding in research and innovation so that available resources are allocated more efficiently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The CoR opinion welcomes the renewable energy pillar of the new APP, considering it as an unmissable opportunity to boost offshore renewable energy production in the EU.<\/p>\n<p>The EU&#8217;s assembly of cities and regions nevertheless regrets that key blue economy activities are excluded from the AAP, such as naval and maritime construction, transport industries, recreational boating, ancillary industry and sustainable tourism activities relating to the marine environment, including water sports, cruise tourism and ferries.<\/p>\n<p>Neither fisheries, shell fishing nor aquacultures are dealt as subjects in their own right in the AAP, the CoR opinion recalls.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_02291.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-65671 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_02291-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_02291-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_02291-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_02291-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img_02291.jpg 1421w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p>The 19 regions involved in the project of an Atlantic macro-region are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>France : Normandie, Bretagne, Pays de la Loire, Nouvelle Aquitaine<\/li>\n<li>Ireland (all): Northern and Western, Eastern and Midland, Southern<\/li>\n<li>Portugal (all): Norte, Centro, Alentejo, \u00c1rea Metropolitana de Lisboa, Algarve<\/li>\n<li>Spain : Comunidad Foral de Navarra, Pa\u00eds Vasco, Cantabria, Asturias, Galicia, Andaluc\u00eda, Canarias<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <strong>blue economy<\/strong> refers to economic activities in oceans, seas and coasts.
