In its dealings with EU institutions and national governments the CPMR has, since 1973, been targeting its action towards ensuring the needs and interests of its member Regions are taken into account in all policies with a high territorial impact. In particular, the CPMR is striving to ensure a strong EU regional policy targeted at all of Europe’s regions and is also working towards the delivery of an integrated maritime policy designed to contribute towards Europe’s economic growth.
The Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions is independent of EU institutions.
