Abstract
The uncontrollable outbreak of piracy attacks off the Somali coast has lately made the East
African coast the area where the majority of all global maritime crimes occur. Located in East
Africa, Somalia borders one of the most important maritime communication routes on Earth: the Suez Canal – the Red Sea – the Gulf of Aden. EU states could be acutely affected by the
disruption of sea trade in this area, therefore they have become actively involved in fighting
piracy off the Somali coast. As a result of political, organizational and legal activity, the
Council of the EU established the first maritime military operation under the auspices of the
European Union – EUNAVFOR Somalia – Operation Atalanta. The efficient operation of EU
naval forces, hundreds of miles from European shores would not have been possible had it not
been for an extensive and comprehensive maritime policy. Not only has its implementation
enabled the EU to chase pirates in the Somali basin, or helped bring any criminals detained before
the courts, but is has also influenced countries outside the European Union.
