Summary	"The Initiative is based on the European Commission’s long-standing experience with sea basin and macro-regional strategies (such as the Atlantic Strategy, the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region and the EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region). It also builds on other EU policies linked to the region, such as the European Neighbourhood Policy Review priorities and the recent Communication on International Negotiations in the western Mediterranean. The Initiative for the sustainable development of the blue economy in the western Mediterranean region was adopted by the European Commission on 19 April 2017 and endorsed by the Council of the EU on 26 June 2017. In its Conclusions on Blue Growth, the Council of the EU has also invited the participating countries, the European Commission and the Union for Mediterranean (UfM) Secretariat to take forward its implementation in coherence with all the other initiatives, which are taking place in the region. On December 4 2018, in Algiers, the 10 Ministers of the Western Mediterranean countries, together with the European Commission and the Union for the Mediterranean, adopted a declaration to strengthen regional cooperation on the WestMED initiative. The signatories agreed on a common roadmap for the development of a sustainable blue economy in the sub-basin to generate growth, create jobs and provide a better living environment for Mediterranean populations, while preserving the services performed by the Mediterranean ecosystem. In this roadmap, 6 priorities were agreed upon: - Maritime safety and the fight against marine pollution - Maritime cluster development - Skills development and circulation - Sustainable consumption and production - Biodiversity and marine habitat conservation and restoration - Development of coastal communities and sustainable fisheries and aquaculture"
