Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Stresses that the development of the blue economy in the Mediterranean will inevitably increase competition for the use of marine and coastal space and resources; calls for the full deployment of ecosystem- based integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) and maritime spatial planning (MSP) as tools to avoid conflicts and situations where fisherman face danger when carrying on their activities owing to the completely arbitrary application of territorial water limits, and therefore to promote harmonious and sustainable development across the Mediterranean;

Amendment 75 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Calls for the deployment of a macro-regional strategy at the scale of the entire Mediterranean basin, dedicated to climate change mitigation, environmental conservation and the sustainable development of the blue economy; believes that such a strategy could be used more specifically to foster circular economy projects in the fisheries sector; address plastic pollution; protect biodiversity; enhance relations with third countries with respect to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing; contribute to solving usage conflicts through adequate maritime spatial planning; promote compliance with international treaties on territorial waters; preserve the socio- economic contribution of fisheries to the well-being of coastal communities, in particular in islands; promote stock management measures across the Mediterranean basin with greater involvement of fish workers in decision-making processes; encourage third countries to implement maritime protected areas in their territorial waters; provide for the sustainable economic development of the fisheries and aquaculture sector, in particular with respect to transformation and commercialisation; implement more effective measures to monitor imported fish products in order to safeguard both public safety and the competitiveness of Europe’s fish sector and the entire related supply chain and support the diversification of fishers’ activities, including retraining and reskilling.
