Recital 7
(7) After the expiry of the EU framework for cooperation in the field of accidental or deliberate marine pollution set up by Decision 2850/2000/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2000, the Agency should continue some of the activities previously carried out under the expired framework to protect the whole coastline of the Union against environmental pollution, whether intentional or not, by drawing in particular on the expertise within the Consultative Technical Group for marine pollution preparedness and response. It should be noted that the Agency is the only body which provides the Commission and Member States with images, data and other precise information which help to step up measures to combat pollution of the sea at Union level.

Recital 9
(9) The Union has established a comprehensive maritime transport strategy up to 2018, which includes the e-maritime concept. Furthermore, it is developing an EU maritime surveillance network. The Agency has maritime systems and applications available which are of interest for the realisation of these policies. Therefore the Agency should make the systems and the data available to interested partnersIn order to attain these objectives, SafeSeaNet should become the core system for all maritime information tools used in connection with maritime security and safety and the protection of the marine environment from ship-source pollution. In addition, it is necessary to ensure interoperability between ICT systems in waterborne transport, to establish the necessary port facilities (‘blue lanes’) and to monitor vessels and goods (‘blue belt’). Therefore the Agency should make the systems and the data available to interested partners and arrange for integration of recourse to the surveillance instruments of all the institutions concerned.

Recital 10
(10) The Agency has established itself as the authoritative provider of maritime traffic data at EU level which are of interest and relevance in other EU activities. Through its activities, in particular regarding port state control, the monitoring of maritime traffic and shipping routes as well as assistance for tracking possible polluters, the Agency should contribute to reinforce synergies at EU level regarding certain coastguard operations and create common functions for the protection of the Union’s coastline to ensure maritime security and safety and protect the environment. In addition, the Agency's data monitoring and collection should also gather basic information on potential threats to maritime transport and the marine environment from offshore oil and gas exploration and production.
