Scaling up EU maritime practices

Abstract

The European Union is building a maritime management system aimed at achieving a high degree of its participation in the regulation of global maritime economy. The EU intends to secure its leadership in preparation and promotion of its management practices and competencies. One of five EU Missions launched in 2021 is aimed at solving problems related to the World Ocean. The EU expects that the package approach will unite the resources of project participants both inside and outside the association, which will provide for a synergistic effect and optimize implementation of tasks. According to the EU's plan, activities and developments of the mission should become the basis for transition to a more advanced and inclusive formats of management in the maritime sphere. They are expected to ensure the achievement of EU Green Deal goals, as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular, SDG 14.
