„This coherent, comprehensive and well-balanced report will have a very important role in implementing the current strategy for the Baltic Sea but also in planning and implementing the future macro-regional strategies, the one for the Danube region included. It is very important for us, both in the case of the strategy for the Baltic Sea and in the case of the future strategies of this kind, to make the EU member states in the region under consideration get fully involved,” said Victor Bostinaru.
„The targets of these strategies cannot be fully implemented without an adequate implication of all the players concerned. I firmly believe that the legal framework should also include the partnership agreements with EU member states so that issues such as the environment and biodiversity should be treated efficiently,” he said.
The Social Democrat eurodeputy thinks that the Nord Stream, the future gas pipeline between Russia and Germany, is a major issue in the context of the strategy for the Baltic Sea.
„The European Commission promised it would inform the European Parliament of the results of the evaluation of the impact on the environment, but this has not been done yet. I am consequently resorting to the rapid communication of these results as it is an important issue,” he added. Victor Bostinaru also thinks that one must have plans of answering correspondingly urn emergencies such as technical accidents, environment catastrophes and terrorist attacks.
