The Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries has commissioned COWI and E&Y to assist with the definition and prospective evaluation of the Atlantic Action Plan.
The Atlantic Action Plan, adopted in May 2013, was defined by the Atlantic Forum, which was dismantled in 2013. It was the result of a bottom-up stakeholder process that helped to define the Action Plan. The consultants participated in the Atlantic Forum workshops and delivered five reports as a result of their findings and the information gathered from stakeholders and interested parties.
