Marine strategy directive: A legal tool for European SEAS protection
Journal Title: Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The Marine Strategy Framework Directive constitutes the main vital environmental component for the future EU maritime policy, designed to achieve full economic potential of oceans and seas in accordance with the marine environment. Given the fact that the contents of the Directive will be subject to review by 2023 we aim to highlight, based on maritime legislation, the main principles to be amended so that it should be an effective legal tool in order to stop the decline of biodiversity in European seas. The analyzed issues relate to: the subsidiarity principle vs. an integrated policy to protect the marine environment; the inadequate connectivity of Marine Strategy Directive with regional seas conventions and relevant EU legislation; the lack of an appropriate definition for the term "good environmental status"; difficulties regarding transposition into national legislations; lack of consistency regarding the interest of the parties involved; the ecosystem-based approach vs. the precautionary principle
