Although the Black Sea is slated to become the EU's new eastern maritime frontier, the Union appears less than fully cognizant of this fact, acknowledges former British Ambassador to Romania Quinton Quayle. "It is a region which we neglect at our peril," he said recently, adding that "around 80% of the heroin on the streets of London is trafficked through the Black Sea region".
Iako će Crno more postati nova istočna pomorska granica EU, čini se da Unija te činjenice nije u potpunosti svesna, priznaje bivši britanski ambasador u Rumuniji Kvinton Dejl. “To je region koji smo zanemarili, na sopstvenu štetu”, rekao je on nedavno, dodajući da se “oko 80 odsto heroina sa Londonskih ulica prokrijumčari preko crnomorskog regiona”.
