Study for the Assessment of the EU’s Role in International Maritime Organisations

The present study aims to create a transparent overview of how the interests of the EU and its Member States are best represented in selected international maritime organisations (IMAOs) and, where possible, to suggest mechanisms to ensure that the EU has a single voice on the international stage. The study analyses the impact of identified shortcomings on the coherence of the EU’s position in international arenas with regard to key contemporary maritime issues, and suggests possible ways of improving the situation.
