While the common transport policy originally applied primarily to land transport, the extension to maritime transport has enabled the Union to adopt legislation on market access, safety, environmental protection, and the rights of passengers and seafarers. The EU&rsquo;s Integrated Maritime Policy, established in 2007, aims to maximise the sustainable use of the oceans and seas by coordinating policies across sectors, including transport, fisheries, energy, environment, and maritime spatial planning.</p>
