Paragraph 31 a (new)
31a. Following the model of the European Space Agency, calls for the creation of a European Maritime Agency for maritime states, the seat of which should, legitimately, be in Overseas France. The strategic development focus of this intergovernmental agency, which countries outside the European Alliance, such as the United Kingdom, could join, would be on: - exploration of energy and mining resources:hydrocarbons, polymetallic nodules and sulphurised mixtures; - research into renewable marine energy; - research into biological, animal and plant resources; - research into maritime transport and surveillance. This cooperation should not call into question national sovereignty over the maritime areas concerned or the role of national navies in their surveillance. In the long term, this Agency could be a forum for in-depth diplomatic cooperation on maritime issues, as well as a starting point for commercial projects on a European scale.
