Marine traffic contributes to this pollution due to ships&#8217; engines that emit sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and fine particles. To tackle these pollutions, Annex VI of the MARPOL Convention has been adopted within the framework of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). This Annex introduces emission limits for major air pollutants from ship exhaust emissions. It also allows countries bordering a maritime domain that is particularly sensitive to air pollution to define more ambitious emission thresholds within the areas of emission control of ships, called ECA zones meaning &#8220;Emissions Control Areas&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/planbleu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Atelier_ECA_Marseille_sept2018.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 300px; height: 169px; float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/planbleu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Atelier_ECA_Marseille_sept2018.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mediterranean riparian countries are aware of the need to act. In February 2016, the 21 Mediterranean countries, Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Region of the Mediterranean, adopted the Regional Strategy for the Prevention and Response to Marine Pollution from Ships (2016-2021). This strategy envisages the possibility of designating all or part of the Mediterranean Sea as an emission control area of sulfur oxides under Annex VI of the MARPOL Convention.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/planbleu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/photo_groupe_atelier_ECA_sept2018.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 300px; height: 169px; float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/planbleu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/photo_groupe_atelier_ECA_sept2018.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>The establishment of an ECA must be justified by impact assessments at regional level.\u00a0 In 2017, France took the initiative to carry out and finance a study on the possibility of setting up an ECA zone in the Mediterranean, according to the method defined by Annex VI of the MARPOL Convention.
