After the last meetings held in Naples in November 2017, the Mediterranean regions will gather again in the framework of their CPMR Intermediterranean Commission Working Groups and Political Bureau. The meetings will be held on 14-15 February in Cartagena (Murcia, Spain), back to back with PANORAMED Steering Committee (Interreg MED project on governance). The technical gatherings on the 14th will give the opportunity to discuss on important topics for the Blue Economy such as transports, fisheries, maritime investments, coastal protection, maritime spatial planning, as well as to reflect on the future of territorial cooperation programs. On the 15th the Political Bureau will focus its attention on the emerging strategies and initiatives such as West MED and BLUEMED, the governance and future cooperation in the Mediterranean, sustainable coastal & maritime tourism, and migration management with a multilevel governance approach.
