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 />
