Francis GRIMAUD elected President of the French Maritime and Port Union
On the sidelines of the Assises de l’Economie de la Mer in Bordeaux, the French Maritime and Port Union (UMPF) held its elective General Assembly on 18 November.
This report contains four major proposals, including the need for the Presidents of each maritime union to sit on the Supervisory Board of the major seaports (as ex officio members or, at the very least, permanent guests), thereby strengthening public-private dialogue.
Another proposal was that the government should submit an annual report to Parliament on the progress of public initiatives undertaken in the maritime and port sector and those planned for the future.
