Any European will remember learning about the great voyages of discovery which
opened the eyes of our forebears to the vastness of our planet, to the diversity of its
cultures and the richness of its resources. Most of these voyages were made by sea.
Most of them required for their success openness to new ideas, meticulous
planning, courage and determination. As time went by, they not only opened up
previously uncharted areas of the globe, they also generated new technologies such
as the chronometer to allow for the exact calculation of longitude and the steam
turbine to bring independence from the tyranny of prevailing winds.
Many Europeans have always lived beside or close to the sea. It has provided them
with a living as fishers and mariners, it has given them health and enjoyment, new
horizons to dream of and a rich vocabulary of words and metaphors to be used in
literature and their daily lives. It has been seen as a source of romance, but also of
separation, unknown perils and grief. It has provided us with a constant challenge
and a deep yearning to understand it better.
Europe is surrounded by many islands and by four seas: the Mediterranean, the
Baltic, the North Sea and the Black Sea; and by two oceans: the Atlantic and the
Arctic. This Continent is a peninsula with thousands of kilometres of coast - longer
than that of other large land masses such as the United States or the Russian
Federation. This geographical reality means that over two thirds of the Union’s
borders are coastal and that the maritime spaces under the jurisdiction of its
Member States are larger than their terrestrial territory
Europe’s geography, therefore, has always been one of the primary reasons for
Europe’s special relationship with the oceans. From the earliest times, the oceans
have played a leading role in the development of European culture, identity and
history.
This is no less the case today. As the EU seeks to revitalise its economy, it is
important to recognise the economic potential of her maritime dimension. Between
3 and 5% of Europe’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated to be generated by
marine based industries and services, without including the value of raw materials,
such as oil, gas or fish. The maritime regions account for over 40% of GDP.
