Arctic Region

On 20/11/08, the European Commission adopted a Communication "The European Union and the Arctic Region". The document which sets out EU interests and policy objectives with regard to the Arctic is intended as the basis for a structured and coordinated response to challenges facing the Arctic Sea Basin, notably under the aegis of the Integrated Maritime Policy for the EU. The European Commission proposes action in connection with three main policy objectives: - Protecting and preserving the Arctic in unison with its population; - Promoting sustainable use of resources; - Contributing to enhanced Arctic multilateral governance.
