In Brief

摘要

The EU Council of Ministers invites the European Commission to present, by June 2011, a European strategy for the Atlantic. In conclusions adopted on 14 June, the Council asks the Commission to continue work in this area based on an approach by maritime basins, in line with what was done for the Baltic Sea strategy (with similar proposals due for the Black Sea). The Council also wishes to see work continue on the European maritime surveillance system and voices support for two pilot projects under way, BlueMassMed and Marsuno.
