This thesis discusses the recorded oil spills at sea routes and the available statistical data on the basic causes of accidents. The behavior of leaking oil and its effects on marine and coastal ecosystems is also presented, along with the international legal framework and the cost of the most effective abatement techniques. Based on international literature and experience, the response time and the available means for leakage management cannot be left entirely on national initiatives, given the existing differences in resources and expertise. With a view to providing a holistic and reliable oil spill management in marine environments, this thesis presents a framework for the establishment of a coordination and operational organization within EU, suitable to handle the functional and know-how gaps revealed from the management of past incidents. The proposed framework relies heavily on the intra-EU states cooperation in order to take advantage of the available technical and scientific resources.
