CPMR PROPOSALS TO THE GREEN PAPER
The CPMR proposes to set up a European
observation system for maritime clusters
Strengthening regional maritime clusters and
consolidating them internationally is a key
condition for the development of maritime regions
The debate on the Green Paper should help to pave
the way for a genuine EU policy on ports. This
policy should combine the requirements of
territorial balance, sustainable development,
focus on training and human ressources issues

- A maritime cluster observation system
- An observatory of the European maritime
economy
A community work area needs to be opened up to
look at human resources in relation to maritime
activities.This issue should be included among
regional, national and EU priorities for
employment and training policies
