le cluster maritime français<br />

Since the wreck of the Erika in December 1999, the French and European authorities have introduced and applied<br />

preventive and deterring measures aimed at obtaining safer ships for a cleaner sea.<br />

In 2005, France adopted the Charter of the Environment which illustrates its determination to speed up concrete actions<br />

and legislation for sustainable development.<br />

The most significant action in 2007 was the organisation of the Grenelle Environmental Forum, a government sponsored<br />

forum to promote favourable conditions for the emergence of a new French deal on the environment.<br />

Representatives of the maritime sector, government authorities, manufacturers, federations and institutions are all now<br />

involved in tackling the environmental issue. Indeed they are pressing ahead with their actions, as exemplified by the<br />

Yachting Industries Federation which has published a report on the environmental impact of yachting, or Armateurs de<br />

France whose “Blue Charter” was a pioneer in the field.<br />
