Jean Yves Le Drian, President of Brittany (France) is the new President of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR). He was elected during the 38th CPMR General Assembly held on 29, 30 September and 1st October 2010 in Aberdeen (Scotland, UK) at the invitation of Peter Stephen, Lord Provost of Aberdeen City Council and Bill Howatson, Provost of Aberdeenshire Council. Just after his election, the new President highlighted the top challenges of his mandate : “The key policy areas will be cohesion policy, as this is what will help us to develop our assets, and maritime policy which is the root of our identity. However, concentrating on these issues does not mean excluding other areas for action: I will particularly focus on further developing the policy area of accessibility which has not yet reached a level that fulfils our expectations.” |
