    Reference is in particular made to the establishment of a trans-European data exchange network for vessel traffic monitoring (SafeSeaNet) and the on-going efforts to harmonise the policy for prosecuting and convicting offenders of ship-source discharge violations which are undertaken within the framework of the environmental protection of the Baltic Sea (HELCOM) and the North Sea (the Bonn Agreement). Furthermore, research financed by the Commission seems to indicate that tagging oil by its DNA may be a very useful method of linking spilled oil at sea with a particular ship. See e.g. IMO Documents BLG 7/INF.5 and BLG 6/11.

    Deze databank van de Europese Unie biedt de mogelijkheid de actuele werkzaamheden (workflow) van de Europese instellingen (Europees Parlement, Raad, ESC, Comité van de Regio's, Europese Centrale Bank, Hof van Justitie enz.) te volgen. EURlex volgt alle voorstellen (zoals wetgevende en begrotingsdossiers) en mededelingen van de Commissie, vanaf het moment dat ze aan de Raad of het Europees Parlement worden voorgelegd.
