DG MARE partnered with the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU and the European Boating Industry for a dialogue with the European stakeholders and policymakers and to create momentum for a sustainable and circular future for end-of-life recreational craft.
A common and coordinated EU approach towards the end-of-life recreational craft, currently lacking in the EU, will support the objectives and ambitions set out in the Circular Economy Action Plan and the European Green Deal, and would be beneficial to all Member States and relevant stakeholders.
That’s why DG MARE partnered with the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU and the European Boating Industry to engage in a dialogue with the European stakeholders and policymakers and create momentum for a sustainable and circular future for end-of-life recreational craft. On 18th March 2024, a joint event addressed the current challenges related to the dismantling, proper disposal and waste management of end-of-life recreational craft, including updated information about the Belgian approach (legal study & roadmap), lessons learned and potential common solutions.
