Key points

The Arctic is a region of strategic importance for the EU, requiring a policy that balances environmental protection with sustainable economic growth.
The rights of indigenous peoples must be protected, specifically ensuring they give free, prior, and informed consent before development projects begin.
International law, particularly the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, must remain the foundation for all maritime activities and dispute resolutions.
Strict enforcement of safety and environmental standards for ships operating in polar waters is necessary to prevent disasters.
