To achieve this it proposes policies that ensure a high level of environmental protection in the European Union and that preserve the quality of life of EU citizens. The DG makes sure that Member States correctly apply EU environmental law. In doing so it investigates complaints made by citizens and non-governmental organisations and can take legal action if it is deems that EU law has been infringed. HOME - Home Affairs - Mission & History. MARE - DG for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries - Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries The Common Fisheries Policy has come a long way since its creation in 1982 – or indeed, since the first instruments of European fisheries policy were established in the early 1970s.
What began as a set of tools to preserve traditional fishing patterns and defuse tension between a handful of nations is now a complex legal and scientific framework, which seeks to protect a natural resource whose finite, though renewable, nature can no longer be ignored. Next to it, a new Maritime Policy seeks to respond in an integrated manner to all the challenges that European seas face today: from pollution to environment protection, from coastal development to job creation, from border control to surveillance and so on.
MOVE - Mobility and Transport in Europe. REGIO - DG for Regional Policy. Mission Statement The mission of the European Commission's Directorate General (DG) for Regional and Urban Policy is to strengthen economic, social and territorial cohesion by reducing disparities between the levels of development of regions and countries of the European Union.
In this way the policy contributes positively to the overall economic performance of the EU. Reducing disparities requires a cohesion policy promoting constant improvements in competitiveness and employment. By co-financing infrastructure projects, developing the information society, accelerating the transfer of know-how, supporting investments in people and stimulating cross-border cooperation, the Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy helps regions that are less prosperous or are suffering from structural problems to improve competitiveness and to achieve a faster rate of economic development in a sustainable way.
