Sažetak
The EC adopted a Communication ‘Towards an Integrated Maritime Policy for better governance in the Mediterranean’ in 2009, which was prepared within the framework of the EU’s Integrated Maritime Policy, identified a number of challenges relating to maritime governance in the Mediterranean and proposed a set of actions aimed at driving coastal States towards a more co-ordinated and holistic approach to the management of activities impacting on the sea and coasts. Many coastal States have not claimed maritime zones that they are entitled to establish under international law with the result that large areas of the Mediterranean have, until recently at least, remained beyond the jurisdiction of coastal States and under the regime of the high seas. In order to analyse the potential impacts of establishing EEZs and/or derivative zones in the Mediterranean Sea it is necessary to consider not only the position under international law but also, as far as EU Member States, candidate and potential candidate countries are concerned, the implication of EU policies (which notion includes not only the Treaties of the EU and legislation adopted on the basis of those treaties but also the international agreements to which the EU is party. To this end it is necessary to have regard to the EU’s Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP), and the series of Communications pertaining thereto, as well a number of other instruments, some of which pre-date the start of the IMP process. Threfore, the potential legal impacts of establishing EEZs in the Mediterranean are summarised in in the study.
