The document also includes an indication of on-going and future initiatives in this area. Environment is a key component of the Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (Marine Directive), adopted in 2008. The main goal of the Marine Directive is to achieve \"Good Environmental Status\" (GES) of all marine waters of the European Union by 2020. The decision under Article 9(3) MSFD on criteria of good environmental status addresses marine litter in descriptor 10 and aims at achieving that \"Properties and quantities of marine litter do not cause harm to the coastal and marine environment\".
