As announced during the SEArica event of December 2021 “Towards a Maritime Sector Fit for 55”, the SEArica Intergroup proposes a follow-up session on the Fit for 55 package.
- In a first session, we will focus on Maritime Transport, with an update on the FuelEU maritime and the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation. Stakeholders from maritime regions, shipping, and ports organisations as well as civil society will express their views.
- In the second session, we will receive an update on the state of negotiation of the Social Climate Fund, which is of course closely linked to the debate around the ETS2 and its expected socio-economic consequences on coastal and peripheral territories. Stakeholders from maritime regions and civil society will debate with the shadow rapporteurs of the file.
- In the third session we will focus on ReFuelEU aviation and on its expected impact and implications for territories which depend on aviation for access and connectivity. We will discuss the issue with insular regions, representatives from the sector and from civil society.
Opening remarks by SEArica Chair Tonino Picula. With the participation of SEArica Vice-Chair for Blue Economy, Maritime Industries and Ports Petros Kokkalis, Vice-Chair for Outermost Regions Claudia Monteiro de Aguiar, Vice-Chair for Climate and Governance Catherine Chabaud, Vice-Chair for Maritime Transport Jan-Christoph Oetjen and SEArica members Rasmus Andresen and Caroline Nagtegaal.

What is an Intergroup?
The Seas, Rivers, Islands and Coastal Areas Intergroup is one of the 27 Intergroups that were approved on 11 December 2019 by the Conference of Presidents for the 9th legislature of the European Parliament. Intergroups can be formed by MEPs from any political group and any parliamentary committee with a view to holding informal exchanges of views on particular issues and promoting contact between MEPs and civil society.
The Seas, Rivers, Islands and Coastal Areas Intergroup brings together more than 100 MEPs from 7 different political groups and 23 Member States.
Intergroups are not Parliament bodies and therefore may not express Parliament's opinion.
Intergroups are subject to internal rules adopted by the Conference of Presidents on 16 December 1999 (last updated on 11 September 2014), which set out the conditions under which intergroups may be established at the beginning of each parliamentary term and their operating rules.
