The NSC President Gunn Marit Helgesen is one of the two candidates as the new CPMR President.

The new CPMR President will be elected at the Political Bureau meeting 30 September, during the General Assembly in Aberdeen.

President Helgesen states; "The central role CPMR plays towards major stakeholders in the European arena is a result of the excellent work which CPMR's Political Bureau lead by President Martini, has accomplished together with the secretariat in Rennes. As President of the CPMR, I will do my very best to continue to strengthen the CPMR's position as an organization in the European arena."

As President of the CPMR Gunn Marit Helgesen aims are;

  • to further strengthen CPMR's position as the main representative for the Maritime Regions in Europe and to continue the work that has been established over the years,
  • to further develop the cooperation within the Presidential cabinet, between the President and the Vice-Presidents,
  • to give the Vice-Presidents their own portfolios, e.g. EU Affairs to 1. Vice-President
  • to include the Presidents for the geographic commissions more into the Presidential cabinet's development work and to give them new tasks,
  • to follow up the conclusions from the members survey (Jean Didier Harche et.al - the working groups)
  • to ensure that the good cooperation between the President and the secretariat in Rennes and Brussels is continued.
  • to ensure that CPMR's central political areas are emphasized for ex. Territorial Cohesion and Maritime Policy.
