Across Europe, there are many long-standing regional/international/bilateral/multilateral cooperation agreements and/or mechanisms covering a wide range of maritime-related issues. Most of these agreements cover some aspects of coast guard functions and many of them stretch beyond European boundaries and may involve a number of third countries. There is also a wide variety of more local agreements and mechanisms between neighbouring countries on a bilateral or multilateral basis.
