The nautical sector requests the president of the Balearic Government, Marga Prohens, to be listened

Nautical associations and entities have gathered at the Consolat de Mar with the president of the Balearic Government, Marga Prohens, and with the Sea Council, Juan Manuel Lafuente, to comment about various aspects that affect directly to the sector.

The Balearic Association of Marine Activities Entrepreneurs (APEAM), has shared with President Prohens its main concerns about illegal chartering and the regulation of marine excursions. 

After the meeting, the president of APEAM, Santiago Mayol, explained that they discussed "important issues on the agenda", such as the essentiality of marine transport, nautical repairs and concessions and extensions in the ports managed by the Government. In addition, he valued the conversations held with the Government and the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) and the "harmony" of Prohens. 

For his part, the president of the Federation of Associations and Nautical Activities for Environmental Issues (FANMED), Gabriel Dols, has asked the Government that the pronouncements of the Balearic Commission for the Environment are more subject to technical criteria.

Speaking after the meeting with the president of the Govern, Marga Prohens, and the councilor for the Sea and Water Cycle, Juan Manuel Lafuente, Dols pointed out that the Commission's reports "often leave much to be desired in terms of technical reasoning".

The president of FANMED also called on the regional government to follow the line of initiatives at European Union level so that the path towards sustainability is taken from social, economic and environmental perspectives.
