Maritime security: reducing imbalances around a shared sea
Around a shared sea, cooperation in maritime safety and security and the prevention of pollution assume crucial importance. Hence the Safemed project, a reflection of the EU’s concern to develop Euro-Mediterranean cooperation. Its principal mission is to support partner countries in their reforms, thereby seeking to reduce imbalances in practices in this key sector.
The importance of the maritime sector lies in its impact on other sectors, in particular the economy, trade and the environment. “International conventions ensure that the sector operates properly and obstacles to the convergence of international maritime laws are also obstacles to trade and respect for the environment”, explains Albert Bergonzo, manager with the Safemed II project, in an interview with the ENPI Info Centre.
This is part of “The People behind the Projects”, a series of interviews with leaders of EU projects, funded by the
