The final conference of APICE project was held in Venice on 8th November 2012 at the Palazzo Grandi Stazioni, Fondamenta S.Lucia, 23, in Venice (IT). The conference represents the final stage of 30 months of work and aims to provide a shared roadmap of actions to mitigate atmospheric pollution, in order to improve the air-quality status of the Mediterranean costs and allow a simultaneous economic growth of the territories involved.
The participation of the European Commission - Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries and the European Cruise Council, together with local and international maritime operators, reflects the importance of the event.The conference reaffirms the centrality of the Mediterranean Sea and its port-cities in driving economic recovery after the downturn and stresses the need of concrete strategies for the reduction of emissions and to increase the energy efficiency in port areas.
