Spain calls for ‘Atlantic Strategy’

EurActiv reports that the Spanish EU Presidency (January-June 2010) has called for an 'Atlantic Arc' strategy for cooperation between Western Europe's maritime countries, which would be the latest in a series of ad hoc blueprints for micro-regional development across Europe.

Spanish Territorial Minister Manuel Chaves expressed his support February 2010 for an integrated Atlantic macro-strategy to be pushed at EU level.
