The Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions ?brings together more than 150 Regions from? 24 ?States from the European Union and beyond. The CPMR is divided into 6 Geographical Commissions: the Atlantic Arc, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Intermediterranean, the Balkan and Black Sea and the Islands. With the exception of the Islands, they all correspond to Europes main sea basins. Representing about 200 million people, the CPMR campaigns ?in favour of a more balanced development of the European ?territory. It operates both as a think tank and as a lobby?for Regions. Through its extensive network of contacts within the EU ?institutions and national governments the CPMR has,?since its creation in 1973, been targeting its action towards ?ensuring that the needs and interests of its Member? Regions are taken into account in policies with a high?territorial impact. It focuses mainly on social, economic and territorial ?cohesion, maritime policies and blue growth, and? accessibility. European governance, energy and climate?change, neighbourhood and development also represent?important areas of activity for the association.
