The Government adopted on the sitting on Friday a memorandum on the setting up of an working group to monitor and coordinate the implementation of projects approved at the Three Seas Initiatives Summit in Bucharest, under the coordination of Deputy PM Ana Birchall, with PM Viorica Dancila to be periodically informed.
According to an announcement published on Facebook by Ana Birchall, the Three Seas Initiatives Summit in Bucharest represented "a benchmark, as this was for the first time when it ended with the promotion of three concrete projects, of a special geostrategic importance for the entire region, in three fields: energy, transport and digital."
The Three Seas Initiative is a regional platform of cooperation between the EU member states located in the Adriatic Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea (Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia).
"The initiative starts from the recognition of a gap that exists in the economic development between the old and new EU member states and aims to reduce this gap by increasing interconnectivity in the region of the three seas, in the energy, transportation and digital fields (without excluding other fields)," reads the announcement.
According to this source, among the advantages of the Three Seas Initiative there are: increased interconnectivity between the 12 participating states, which will contribute to the increase of economic convergence and cohesion between the EU members, strengthening European integration, stability and prosperity of the Union.
