==Review by Job Dronkers (January 2013)==

This article describes the birth and background of the European Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP). I have updated a few obsolete website links. For the latest developments the reader should consult the article [[Integrated Maritime Policy for the European Union]] and the  [http://ec.europa.eu/maritimeaffairs/policy/index_en.htm website] of the European Commission.
Financial support for the implementation of the European Maritime Policy is foreseen through the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF). The [http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:52011PC0804:EN:NOT  scope of the proposed EMFF] covers the support to the IMP which extends to the
development and implementation of coordinated operations and decision-making in relation to the oceans, seas, coastal regions and maritime sectors complementing the different EU policies that touch upon them, notably the Common Fisheries Policies, transport, industry, territorial cohesion, environment, energy and tourism.
