Emphasises that the BSEC needs to be reformed in order to meet new challenges efficiently, and considers that the 20th anniversary in 2012 would be a good occasion for proposals to that end, including for revision of the BSEC Economic Agenda, adopted in 2001, organisational reform and increased operational efficiency, as well as an upgrade of related bodies, such as the Black Sea Trade and Development Bank (BSTDB) and the BSEC Business Council; recommends that the strategy for Black Sea has to coagulate all financial support in the region, from European Neighbourhood Policy Funding, structural funds or pre-accession funds orienting them to the critical sectors which will thus benefit of a sound financial perspective in the future;
