- The Ecological and Fisheries Protection Zone (Croatian: Zaštićeni ekološko-ribolovni pojas, ZERP) is a protected fishing area over Croatia's exclusive economic zone. The ZERP was initiated by the Croatian Peasant Party, then a member of Croatia's governing coalition. The Government of Ivica Račan proposed it to the Croatian Parliament, which voted in favour on 3 October 2003. It came into effect exactly one year later, excluding European Union member states. The government informed the United Nations Secretariat of the decision prior to the 2004 enactment of the zone. On 1 January 2008, the zone came into full effect as it began to be enforced for EU nations. The zone has an area of 23,870 square kilometres. The exact boundaries of the zone date back to treaties between what was then SFR Yugoslavia and Italy in 1968 and between Croatia and FR Yugoslavia in 2001. Prior to the ZERP's declaration, Italian ships annually caught 300 million euros worth of fish from the zone - ten times the amount which Croatian ships caught. In its enactment of the zone, the Croatian Government also cited the danger of the Prestige oil spill being repeated on the Croatian Adriatic, which would seriously affect the country's tourism industry. The zone has widespread support in Croatia. All major political parties support the zone, including the Social Democratic Party, Croatian Peasant Party, and Democratic Centre. The Croatian Democratic Union has been a cautious supporter, wary of the EU's response. In 2008, Luigi Giannini, leader of Italian fishermen's organisation Federcoopesca, declared that one-third of all Italian fishing activity took place in the ZERP. On 10 March 2008, the HDZ-led government decided not to enforce ZERP for EU members from 15 March 2008 onwards. In 2011, during negotiations with the European Union, it was decided that Croatia could proclaim an ecological protection zone for third countries, but not for EU member states. Slovenian fishermen catch about 40% of their fish in the zone. (en)
- La zona di protezione ecologica e della pesca (in croato: Zaštićeni ekološko-ribolovni pojas, abbr. ZERP) è un'area marina protetta la cui creazione (in gran parte in acque internazionali), assieme a quella della zona economica esclusiva è stata decisa unilateralmente dalla Croazia il 3 ottobre 2003 ed estendendo così la propria giurisdizione sul mare aperto ad un'area di 23.870 km² oltre il confine delle sue acque territoriali (31.757 km²). La sua istituzione ha causato numerose proteste diplomatiche italiane e slovene che ha influito sul processo di adesione della Croazia all'Unione europea fino a portare la Commissione per gli affari esteri del Parlamento della UE ad approvare il progetto di rapporto sulla relazione concernente i progressi compiuti da quest'ultima nel 2007 esortando, il 28 febbraio 2008, le autorità croate, italiane e slovene ad impegnarsi in modo costruttivo al fine di superare e conseguire un compromesso che prendesse in considerazione gli interessi di tutte le parti coinvolte. Ciò ha spinto il governo croato, il 13 marzo 2008, ad approvare la sospensione di tale zona a partire dal 15 marzo dello stesso anno ai soli paesi membri della UE fino a che non verrà raggiunto un accordo comune nello spirito dell'Unione.
