At a Glance

This workshop is part of a study commissioned by the Directorate-General for Environment at the European Commission. Its purpose is to engage with individuals and organisations who are involved with efforts to make the maritime economy more environmentally-friendly in a profitable manner.

The workshop provides an opportunity for industry, NGO's, public sector and other stakeholders to exchange knowledge and provide timely advice to the Commission on how to accelerate the move towards an environmentally-friendly Blue Economy.

The EU Blue Economy provides over 5 million jobs and approximately 4% of Europe's Gross Domestic Product.

Many promising environmentally-friendly ideas are developed locally by people with an intricate knowledge of their industries, communities and environment. Such knowledge and experience may not be available at the EU level. Making it accessible could help identify ways in which the EU can act further to support such initiatives. The purpose of the workshop is therefore twofold:

1. To enhance knowledge of potential action and support the dissemination of good practice; and
2. To inform EU-level policy in cases where action at the EU level can make a difference to helping local efforts.
