Politicians, the European Commission and Shipping: what is the missing link and the way forward?
We, at the Centre, believe that the numerous current challenges facing shipping require co-ordinated action by all concerned to enable the industry to emerge successfully from the economic crisis.
For this purpose, we believe that any decisions affecting the industry which may be taken by politicians would be well informed by prior consultation with the various sectors of the shipping industry. In this way, politicians - in Brussels and internationally - will have a better understanding of how the industry works and be responsive to its concerns about matters that might substantially affect the industry’s growth.
Equally, the industry would need to facilitate a constructive and continuous dialogue with politicians through one representative body.
In view of the poignancy of these issues at this present time, LSLC offers its 11th ‘Cadwallader’ event as a platform for the debate of these issues to enable and mark the beginning of constructive discussions between politicians, the European Commission and the industry.
Issues for discussion:
(a) Lack of interaction between politicians and the shipping industry inhibits a clear understanding of how the industry works.
(b) Insufficient focus on the industry’s concerns by politicians and the European Commission undermines the sustainability of a potent industry.
(c) Ways of forging future co-operation.
Join in this vibrant Debate with the London shipping community.
Dr Aleka Mandaraka Sheppard,
Chairman LSLC – Maritime Business Forum
