Last week, on behalf of Provincie Zeeland, we traveled to Gozo to participate in the 52nd General Assembly of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR). Gozo, an island next to Malta, is a prime example of a peripheral maritime region. The journey, which involved a flight, car ride and a ferry, clearly highlighted the challenges faced by such regions. At this General Assembly, representatives from over 70 European maritime regions came together to discuss energy, climate, mobility, cohesion policy and more. Together, a strong lobby is being conducted towards the European Parliament and the European Commission to advocate for the interests of maritime regions. The result of three intensive days is the formulation of clear messages for each theme in the form of policy positions and the final declaration. With these unified and well-defined positions, the lobby will continue over the coming months to ensure that the new European policies and the multiannual financial framework align with the needs of our regions. #CPMR #Gozo #CohesionPolicy #Energy #Climate #Europe #Cooperation

Minister of Foreign Affairs, George Gerapetritis, opening address at the 9th International "Our Ocean Conference" “With an extended coastline of more than 20,000 kilometers and countless islands and islets, Greece has developed a profound connection with the sea and is, therefore, firmly committed to protecting the maritime environment. Our ocean is not only an ocean of potential, but actually an element of survival for us all. The ocean can save us, but we have to save the ocean first. We must work together to find sustainable solutions. After all, oceans and seas connect us all. We owe it to the future generations. We must not forget we are not the owners, but merely the caretakers of the Earth.” Read the full opening remarks: https://lnkd.in/dctxhKwA Our Ocean - An Ocean of Potential #OurOcean2024 #OurOceanGreece

Strengthening Global Cooperation for Ocean Preservation among G7 nations OACM President, Mr. Kristijan Curavić, recently held a significant meeting with Hon. Fabien Fieschi, Ambassador of France at the French Embassy in Zagreb. During this meeting, they discussed the upcoming EU ETIS Conference, which will take place in Croatia on 16-17 October 2025. This key event will gather more than 150 nations, heads of state, and global corporations to create new sustainable policies for tourism and ocean conservation. Ambassador Fieschi expressed his support. France has the unique opportunity to take a leadership role among G7 nations in ocean preservation by adopting OACM’s SOS CP system. This innovative system can physically reduce plastic waste in coastal areas, ensuring safe marine environments for both humans and marine life. The Canadian Prime Minister, Hon. Justin Trudeau, has already pledged his support, and this bilateral cooperation between France and Canada paves the way for a stronger G7 alliance in ocean preservation. The upcoming meeting with the US State Department in April/May 2025 will further accelerate international cooperation, with plans to engage Italy, Japan, Germany, and the UK. Together, these initiatives mark the beginning of a truly global program for the sustainable preservation of our oceans, lakes, and rivers. #OACM #France #Canada #G7 #Sustainability #LaFranceEnCroatie #FrenchEmbassyZagreb #OceanPreservation #EUETIS #MarineLife #GlobalCooperation #KristijanCuravic
