Overall policy making, strategic planning and the implementation of the EU Integrated Maritime Policy and Common Maritime Policy promote, serve and have as their sole criterion the competitiveness, that is to say the profitability, of the monopolistic consortia involved in the entire network of capitalistic economic enterprise connected to the sea, maritime regions and territories and related areas of economic activity; The result of this particular policy pursued by the EU and the bourgeois governments of the Member States has been a massive hike in corporate profits which has inevitably aggravated problems to a serious degree at working class at grassroots level and dramatically worsened the situation in the island and outermost regions of the EU; Amendment 9 # Charalampos ANGOURAKIS Draft opinion Paragraph 1 b (new) 1b.
