Event on Integrated Maritime Policy, 29 October, Wexford

As part of the EU 'Open Days 2010' season of events in Europe's cities and regions, the Association of Irish Regions is organising a workshop entitled 'EU Integrated Maritime Policy - the Irish Regional Dimensions'.

Three years after the European Commission launched its blue paper on European Integrated Maritime Policy, this event will assess the state-of-play of implementation, the impacts and implications for Ireland and future potential for Ireland and its regions.

The workshop will have a particular focus on the evolving debate on an Integrated Strategy for the Atlantic Area, but also the possible application of this approach to sea basins, such as the Irish Sea, and the discussion on Marine Spatial Planning and the contribution that maritime policy can play generally for future economic growth - blue growth and jobs. The workshop will hear from practitioners and will use case studies to illustrate best practice.

The event takes place in Wexford on Friday 29 October and is targeted at policy makers, officials and other interested stakeholders at national, regional and local levels in Ireland..
