Abstract
The implementation of this new policy or strategy of the European institutions, linked to maritime safety poses specific problems. The final objective is to achieve maximum efficiency in the preventive and punitive struggle against maritime pollution, but such laudable ratio should not create an imbalance between the public and private Law areas which blend and interact. Various regulatory frameworks compete with each other, resulting in a legally fragmented sector. It is necessary to make this strategic sector be governed by uniform and harmonized rules, to achieve a balance between the policy objectives at european level, avoid the adoption of new national legislation and coordinate any action at EU and international level.
