Amendment 430 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 77 (77) The EMFF should support the promotion of integrated maritime governance at all levels especially through exchanges of best practices and the further development and implementation of sea basin strategies. In this context, improved maritime governance including the enhancement of cooperation and coordination, at the appropriate level, among the competent authorities performing coast guard functions in the EU, ensuring healthier, safer and more secure seas and oceans in particular by implementing the existing maritime legislation are very important. These strategies aim at setting up an integrated framework to address common challenges in European sea basins and strengthened co-operation between stakeholders to maximise the use of Union financial instruments and funds and contribute to the economic, social and territorial cohesion of the Union. It is therefore very important to improve and enhance external cooperation and coordination in relation to the objectives of the IMP, on the basis of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
