In addition, the Regional Sea Conventions offers opportunities for stakeholder involvement at the level of the European Seas. However, building on the example of the OSPAR Convention, the stakeholder respresrntation within the Regional Sea Conventions is limited to certain sectors. Within OSPAR, the offshore and chemical industry are represented in the Offshore Industry Committee, preparing decisions and recommendation to regulate the offshore industry. However, as for instance shipping and fisheries are excluded, representatives of these sectors do not get a chance to voice their opinions, even though they likely will be affected by the implementation of the MSFD and the outcomes of the OSPAR Convention platform.
