Currently, European Economic Area (EEA) ship- -owners owners world. Currently, European Economic Area (EEA) ship represent about 40% of the world merchant fleet. 90% of the represent about 40% of the world merchant fleet. 90% of the EU’ ’s s external trade and 40% of trade by volume between the external trade and 40% of trade by volume between the EU member States are carried by sea. As a consequence, hundreds of member States are carried by sea. As a consequence, hundreds of non- -indigenous species from different parts of the world have indigenous species from different parts of the world have non been introduced into European waters, particularly Northern been introduced into European waters, particularly Northern Europe, through ballast water. Although many of them have not Europe, through ballast water. Although many of them have not had any serious effects on the ecosystem yet, some have created had any serious effects on the ecosystem yet, some have created serious problems and incurred considerable costs in remedial serious problems and incurred considerable costs in remedial actions. actions.
