Abstract
The existence of unexpected resources in the seas and oceans of the world and the real
possibilities of covering of important part of the food and energy requirements of humanity
in the context of the exhaustion, in a time not too distant, of the terrestrial resources have
made that the interest for the world ocean grow steadily, currently, many entities within
the European Union being involved in the activities of exploration and exploitation of the
seas and oceans, both as technology providers and as mining operators because, despite its
small size, this sector has the necessary potential to generate sustainable development and
jobs for future generations. The European Union is becoming more and more interested in
identifying viable technologies for commercial extraction of marine resources located at
great depths, both in the areas located in the national jurisdiction and in the international
area of the submarine territories and to participate in the elaboration of relevant regulations
that take into account the requirements of the protection of the marine environment. In this
context, this article aims to make a brief presentation of the international area of the
submarine territories in the context of the European Union's interest in exploring and
exploiting its resources.
