80 years ago, Europe lay in ruins. Out of the rubble, an idea took hold: a united Europe, a Europe of peace. By uniting their coal and steel production, six countries began turning that dream into reality. Over the years, more countries joined and the cooperation intensified. But that dream cannot be taken for granted. It requires constant work – today more than ever.

And because these small plastic particles look like fish eggs, birds eat them with serious consequences for wildlife as much as for human health.
The EU is setting rules to improve how plastic pellets are handled at all stages of the supply chain.
Goal: reducing unintentional releases of pellets into the environment by up to 74%!

On 9 June, 2025, at the UN Ocean Conference, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen presents the European Ocean Pact:
"We want to build a strong global alliance for the Ocean, because the fight to promote and protect our Ocean is a global challenge. As the declaration from this Conference makes clear, there is a funding shortfall to support ocean conservation, science and sustainable fishing. So I am delighted to announce today that:
Europe is investing EUR 1 billion in 50 projects around the world. We will invest in those who make a living from the sea, and we will invest in scientists and conservationists who seek to protect it. We will help to promote sustainable fishing in Tanzania, regenerate mangrove forests and their natural supply chains in Guyana and protect the coral and seagrass which sustain 20% of global fish stocks. Knowledge is one of the most powerful tools for ocean conservation, so one-third of the EUR 1 billion in funding announced today is targeted for research and scientific projects."

The ocean powers life on Earth. It covers 70% of the planet, produces half our oxygen, and holds 80% of global biodiversity. But it’s at a tipping point.
To protect this vital resource while unlocking its full potential, the EU launched the European Ocean Pact, a unified strategy to shape the future of ocean governance.
From fisheries to offshore wind. From biodiversity to marine research. From local communities to global cooperation. One Ocean, One strategy. #EUOceanPact
