Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Maria Damanaki, has welcomed the adoption of Conclusions by the Council of the European Union on the integration of maritime surveillance.
"This ambitious project involves about 420 authorities and agencies at European and national level. When in full operation, it will not only ensure safer and cleaner seas, but it will also boost economic growth and favour the development of a European digital society", said Ms Damanaki. She underlined that "cooperation on data exchange will ultimately lead towards a new era in the governance of European seas".
