The BSPC Working Group on Integrated Maritime Policy, especially infrastructure and logistics, will aim at elaborating joint BSPC policy recommendations within this policy area.

The Working Group is chaired by Mr Jochen Schulte, MP, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The Working Group held its inaugural meeting in Rostock on 21-22 January, in the premises of the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency. The Working Group was briefed on, i.a., maritime spatial planning, Baltic sea port development, and research on maritime infrastructure. The Group also had the opportunity to get a demonstration of the Marine Simulation Centre in Warnemünde. The presentations laid a solid ground for deliberations within the Group on priorities and working methods, as well as for future recommendations on maritime issues. They can be retrieved from Background Documents under Related Information.

The second meeting of the Working Group will tentatively be convened in Brussels in April.
