Traduction de «commission de la mer noire » (Français → Anglais) :

The Commission actively contributes to the work of the Black Sea Commission, the executive body of the Convention on the Protection of the Black Sea against Pollution, which was signed in 1992 by the six littoral states.

2. Considers that, in order to adopt a coherent, effective and result-oriented regional policy approach, the Communication has to be followed by further consistent steps on the part of the EU to encourage a genuine regional dimension tailored to this area; is also concerned by the fact that the results of the Black Sea regional strategy pursued since 1997 have not been properly evaluated; calls on the Commission to prepare a thorough assessment of previous and ongoing activities and to present the results to the European Parliament; welcomes the intention of the Commission to provide for an initial evaluation of the Black Sea Synergy ...[+++]in 2008, and calls upon it to put forward concrete proposals for fostering regional cooperation and genuine partnership in the Black Sea area, based on the results of its evaluation and taking into account the recommendations contained in this and other relevant resolutions of the European Parliament; encourages the Commission to use the experiences gained in the Northern Dimension when drafting any future review or extension of its Black Sea strategy;

11. Welcomes the Commission’s desire to encourage increased dialogue with the Black Sea region, supplementing the existing bilateral policies (membership, neighbourly relations, strategic partnership) with a new ‘Black Sea Synergy’, but regrets the lack of ambition in the Commission proposals for this new regional cooperation initiative and considers that, in order to adopt a coherent and effective regional approach, the EU needs to encourage in the long term a genuinely regional dimension tai ...[+++]lored to this zone which puts all the partners on an equal footing; considers that the future development of the Black Sea region, which is extremely important in geopolitical terms as the link between Europe and Asia, would benefit greatly from an independent Black Sea strategy, particularly with regard to international trade;

Already, it is giving priority to cooperating with ENP partners in regional cooperation processes (such as the UNECE-led Environment for Europe Process, environment-related activities under the Euro-Mediterranean Process or the Black Sea Commission).

The EU's Black Sea regional initiative aims at a comprehensive approach including all countries in the region; therefore the wide membership of the Organisation of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC)[10] and the fact that Russia and Turkey are its founding members is a decisive advantage and could substantially contribute to the success of Black Sea Synergy.

Furthermore, the Commission chairs the Danube Black Sea Task Force, which was set up by the countries of the Danube-Black Sea region in 2001 to encourage a strategic focus on investments in the field of water.
