Abstract: The Arctic had been quite insignificant topic for international relations for a long time. Nevertheless, there are many reasons today why we should be interested in the Arctic region. Scholars as well as politicians speak of searching for, changing or establishing a new Arctic regime. Even the European Union has clearly showed its interest in recent developments in the Arctic and in formation of rules for the Arctic (The European Parliament published its Arctic vision in October 2008. The Commission did the same in November 2008 and the Council in December 2009). The timing of its aim to create an independent and specific EU Arctic policy coincides with presentation of strategic documents about the North by so-called Arctic coastal states (the United States, Russia, Canada, Denmark and Norway). It is these five Arctic states and their positions that constitute limits and framework for the future Arctic policy of the EU.
