Summary/Abstract: In 2007 the Commission presented the European vision for the oceans and seas called“An Integrated Maritime Policy for the European Union” (the Blue Book). The idea has been based on the recognition that all matters related to the oceans and seas are inter-linked and need an integrated approach. The article briefly presents the main action areas set out in the Blue Book and the instruments of particular importance for creating common maritime policies. The emphasis has been placed on the European strategy to alleviate the consequences of the climate change in coastal regions.
