1. Introduction Instead of the common, each maritime and land-locked country has its own vision what is maritime and inland waterborne economy and its own scope of the public statistics in this field. We agree with The Swedish Royal Institute of Technology, which in 2006 stated that Baltic Sea Region includes the sea and also the vast land area with river basins and lakes, where also Maritime and Inland Waterborne economic activities take place1. It relates to the other Sea Regions indicated in the EU Atlas of the seas. This concept is a starting point to establish the distinctive features of the maritime and inland waterborne economy acceptable for all stakeholders. a. This concept responds to the various EU GD Mare initiatives, recommendations and directives (pages 1 -2) b. The definition of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy comes from the definition of the economy as whole ( pages 2-4) c. There are different classifications and there is a lack of comparable maritime and inland waterborne statistics ( pages 4-5) d. There are different names, although overlapping identification of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne areas, sectors, sub-sectors in national maritime clusters (pages 5-9) e. Value added chain relates to all activities, which should be pictured by the common categorization and classification in the statistics (example – page 9) f. The idea of the project launched by the EU GD Mare based on the various examples ( pages 10-20) 2. RELATION TO THE EU DGMARE INITIATIVES Maritime ( and inland) affairs and fisheries have the economic value measured in relation to GDP. This value measured by Gross Value Added index is a result of the economic activities of the entrepreneurs in the sectors and sub-sectors of the 5 Areas indicated by EU GD Mare in the Appendix III of the “Study on the drivers for sustainable growth from the oceans, seas, coastal regions and maritime sectors”. Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy is composed by all of these economic activities, which should be shown in the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy public statistics. The % share of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy in EU’S GDP is still unknown. This concept, integrating economic activities related to the ocean, sea and inland waters environment, follows the EU GD Mare calls to: - have in mind the definition of the “river basin”2 1 The Swedish Royal Institute of Technology study, 2006 str. 1 - have the reliable and comparable statistics to inform maritime policy making on all levels3 - integrate the European Maritime Policy and the inland waterways policies. 4 - foster 5: (a)the identification and exploitation of synergies between all EU policies relating to the oceans, seas, costal regions and maritime sectors, - namely the environmental, maritime transport, energy, research, industry, fisheries and regional policies. (b)the development and implementation of integrated governance of maritime and coastal affairs and integrated sea basin strategies, adding the integrated and compact features of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy as a (1) tool to the already existing tools set up of the Integrated Maritime Policy in 2007 that can assist maritime governance, together with: (2)Maritime spatial planning (MSP), (3) Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), (4) EU Strategy for Marine and Maritime Research, (5) Integrated maritime surveillance - develop the concept of the European Atlas of the Seas and its Sea Basin Atlas6: according to the European Atlas of the Seas almost 40% of the EU’s GDP is generated in the maritime regions, and a staggering 90% of the EU’s foreign trade is conducted by sea but how big is the % share of the Maritime and River Basin Economy in EU’S GDP is still unknown. - respond to the encouraging letter of GDMare to the Maritime Experts Association Szczecin, of November 3, 2008 3. The concept and definition Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy Economy as a whole Economy, it is a system of activities and effects which deals with production, manufacture, distribution and consumption of goods and services Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy Maritime and Inland Waterborne economy possesses its own and the same attributes as a whole economy 2 In the Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23.10. 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy ( Article 2 Definitions, point 13: "River basin" means the area of land from which all surface run-off flows through a sequence of streams, rivers and, possibly, lakes into the sea at a single river mouth, estuary or delta. 3 In the Guidelines for an Integrated Approach to Maritime Policy: Towards best practice in integrated maritime governance and stakeholders consultation (pages 6/7), Brussels 26.6.2008, Com(2008) 395 final 4 in the Report of EU Committee on Transport and Tourism on Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP) Evaluation of progress made and new challenges, Brussels October 5 th 2010, point 40. 5 In the Proposal for REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL establishing a Programme to support the further development of an Integrated Maritime Policy, Brussels, 29.9.2010, COM(2010) 494 final 6 according to the European Atlas of the Seas almost 40% of the EU’s GDP is generated in the maritime regions, and a staggering 90% of the EU’s foreign trade is conducted by sea but how big is the % share of the Maritime and River Basin Economy in EU’S GDP is still unknown. str. 2 Therefore: Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy, it is a system of the economic activities and effects which deals with: production, manufacture, distribution and consumption of goods and services connected with the oceans, seas, and their inland waterborne environment The oceans, seas, and their river basins as the scarce public goods should be protected against unsustainable human economic activity in the field of the maritime and inland waterborne economy The Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy concept is convergent to the Directive 2000/60/EC in the field of water policy, where the water management concerns the “area of land and sea, made up of one or more neighbouring river basins together with their associated groundwaters and coastal waters” 3.1. Categorization and classification of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy economic activities The economic activities composing the Maritime and River Basin Economy are measured by the whole economy common qualitative indexes, e.g. Gross (Net) Added Value, work units, and their own set of the qualitative, e.g.: turn –over, tons, freights, DWT, BRT, import/export, tons-km, and the quantitative indexes, e.g. CGRT in shipbuilding The economic activities composing the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy are offered in the market by the natural and social sciences economic activities generated from: e.g. Archaeology, Anthropology, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Earth science, Economics, Education, Environmental studies, Geography, History, Law, Linguistics, Management, Medicine, Microbiology, Physics, Politics, Public administration, Psychology, Sociology, Zoology and the Cross-disciplines The economic activities composing the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy of production, manufacture, distribution and consumption of goods and services out of the indicated by EUROSTAT six branches: (1) Agriculture, hunting and fishing, (2)Business activities and financial services, (3)Construction, (4)Industry (5)Trade, transport and communication services and (6)other services, form the seventh branch of national economies The economic activities composing the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy of production, manufacture, distribution and consumption of goods and services should be as a starting point, identified and classified in accordance with the appendix III of the UE Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) “Study on the drivers for sustainable growth from the oceans, seas, coastal regions and maritime sectors” str. 3 3.2. Adding value, Gross ( Net) Added Value, efficiency, spatial planning, statistics, management The economic and non-economic activities add value The economic activities create value added The value added of economic activities - the differences between the value of a firm’s (industry) output ( i.e. the total revenues received from selling that output) and the costs of the inputs of raw materials, components or services bought in to produce that output from: production, manufacture, distribution and consumption of the Maritime and River Basin Economy The Gross Value Added of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy economic activities equals to the Gross Maritime and Inland Waterborne Product and its % share in the Gross Product in the: aerial/sectorial/subsectorial/regional/domestic/European, global levels The efficiency of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy is based on the competitiveness of all economic, supported by the non economic activities, being the parts of the value added chain and cooperation within clusters, hubs, and networks on the different territorial levels The Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy is subject to the to the common spatial planning The Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy on the central and regional levels should be managed by the Main Unit for Management which is identified under Article 3(1) of the Directive 2000/60/EC in the field of water policy The Maritime and Inland Waterborne Economy economic and non economic activities should have the complete public statistical picture, useful for the administrator, businessman, researcher, scientist, producer, manufacturer, distributor, and consumer of goods and services 4. Different classifications and lack of comparable maritime and waterborne statistics The separate study is needed, underlined by: 4.1. REPORT 5 October 2010 on Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP) Evaluation of progress made and new challenges Committee on Transport and Tourism, Rapporteur: Gesine Meissner, Rapporteur for the opinion (*): Antonello Antinoro, Committee on Fisheries, in which we read the necessity to: - collect reliable information and comparable statistics for maritime policy-making at all levels. 4.2.Study on Competitiveness of the European Shipbuilding Industry BAlance Technology Consulting, 2000. 5 and Drewry Shipping Consultants Limited, 2002; redesigned by ECORYS, in which we read: It should be noted that in the data sources used for this study, a variety of, sometimes inconsistent, definitions of the marine equipment industry are used. This causes str. 4 difficulties in comparing data. Finally, there is no one sectoral (NACE) classification which grasps this sector, which means that in many cases no uniform data are collected centrally, hence making this sub-sector much harder to monitor than ship construction. 4.3. Contribution of the maritime sector to the French economy We read: After a further check, the value of production in the maritime industries remains close to 2.5% of GDP. Given the dispersion of the statistical data, these figures are estimates. 4.4. The European Network of Maritime Cluster approach to the Mrs. Damanaki EU Commissioner Priorities for European Maritime Clusters Among them: The ENMC members would welcome the introduction of standard definitions of sectors and subsectors, and support for conformity in monitoring in member states. Maritime clusters are economic entities for which there exist no readymade statistics. 5. Different naming, although overlapping identification of the Maritime and Inland Waterborne areas, sectors, sub-sectors in national maritime and inland waterborne clusters: A maritime cluster should be viewed, in the first instance, as a part of an economic architecture 7. In Maritime and Inland Waterborne Cluster cooperate the organized and notorganized sectors, subsectors,entities or their activities which directly or not-directly deal with the oceans, seas and inland waters environment. There are different forms of a cluster: sectorial, maritime ( ocean, sea + coastal area), inland waterborne, inland – locked, regional, national. Examples: The Austrian Maritime Cluster Shipbuilding Marine equipment Shipping Recreational boating Source: www.ecotec.com The British maritime cluster The British definitions of maritime sectors: Oil and Gas – maritime services utilized in the exploration, development and exploitation of offshore oil and gas fields Shipping – Shipping services utilized in the carriage of goods and passengers and chartering of vessels Shipbuilding – Construction and repair of commercial (non-leisure) and naval ships and other marine structures Maritime services – Maritime related business services provided by the “City’ Ports – Loading, unloading and other handling of marine cargoes Defence/Naval – Military and civilian operations of the Royal Navy including foreign ships sales IMDO-Irland, Marine Institute – Fora na Mare, STRATEGIC REVIEW OF IRISH MARITIME TRANSPORT SECTOR, 1996-2005 7 str. 5 Leisure Marine – All leisure activities including boat building and equipment provision excluded above Telecommunications – The manufacture, surveying and laying of submarine telecommunication cables Research and Development – University, public sector and industry involvement in maritime R&D New technologies – Include underwater unmanned vehicles, marine biotechnology and marine software Education &Training – Marine cources in nthe higher education sector and seafarer/offshore industry based training Ocean survey – Ocean surveys primarily for hydrographic and maritime safety and salvage Minerals & Aggregates – Shipping services utilized in the offshore extraction of minerals and aggregates (other than employment this is all covered in shipping above) Fisheries – Sea finfish and shellfish landings and fish farming activities Source: Sea Vision The Bulgarian maritime cluster Nature of the Bulgarian Maritime Cluster Subcontractors, Shipbuilding, Associations and Chambers, Local and Central Administration, Seaports Marine Services of Maritime Industries, Shiprepairing and Conversion, Schools, Universities, R&D, Institutes, Self-Governments, Sea Shipping, Marine Navy, Fishery, Inland Shipping, Yachting, Dredging and Refulling, Offshore, Financial Institutions, Banks, Energy, Media, Processing, Sport, Tourism Industries, Public and Private Media, Public Information and Communication, Transport Source: www.marinecluster.com The Czech Maritime Cluster Building of ships and floating structures Building of pleasure and sporting boats Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines Manufacture of plastics and rubber machinery Manufacture of optical instruments and photographic equipment Manufacture of communication equipment Manufacture of electronic components Water transport Source:Tomas Bata University in Zlin The Danish maritime cluster Core industries: Shipping, Maritime Services, Shipbuilding, Equipment industry, Off-shore extraction Related industries: The Danish Navy, Fishing industries, Leisure and sport Secondary industries: Suppliers, Subcontractors, ( both goods and services) Supporting industries: Government authorities, Internal organizations, Business organizations, Education, Universities, research and knowledge sharing Source: www.dma.dk The Dutch Maritime Cluster Most sectors are part of more than one cluster, which complicates the definition str. 6 problem and the data collection.

Depending on the nature of the product, the value – added chain may involve a large number of vertical linked activities or only a few. str. 9 The following example shows one particular value – added chain involving converting a raw material (oil) into intermediate materials ( ethylene and PCV), then into a finished product (plastic kitchenware), then packaging and physically distributing (logistics, sealand transportation) this kitchenware to consumers. In many cases firms will choose to embrace a number of “stages” in the value-added chain as part of vertically integrated operations in order to reduce costs. Example: Extraction crude oil Refining, petrochemical processing naphtha --------------chemical additives ethylene Manufactured finished Product PCV -------------------dyestuffs Plastic kitchenware ------------------packaging Distribution (logistics, sea-land transport) Wholesales Retailer Consumer 7.
