Vice-President

4.   Mandate of a Member

Graham Watson took the floor on behalf of the ALDE Group to point out that the Polish Government had stripped Bronisław Geremek of his mandate as a Member of the European Parliament with effect from 19.04.2007, as he had refused to sign a declaration relating to collaboration with the Communist-era secret services as required by a Polish ‘lustration’ (monitoring) law, which had entered into force on 15.03.2007. Graham Watson called on Hans-Gert Pöttering, the President of Parliament, to inform the House as to whether the matter had been raised at his latest meeting with the Polish Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński. He also called on the relevant bodies within Parliament to look into the rules applying to the end of a Member's term of office and called on Parliament to take action as soon as possible to protect Mr Geremek's right to exercise his mandate.

The following Members spoke in support of Mr Watson's comments: Martin Schulz, on behalf of the PSE Group, Daniel Cohn-Bendit, on behalf of the Verts/ALE Group, Francis Wurtz, on behalf of the GUE/NGL Group, Giuseppe Gargani (Chairman of the JURI Committee) and Joseph Daul, on behalf of the PPE-DE Group.

The President pointed out that Parliament had not yet received any formal notification from the Polish authorities concerning the end of Bronisław Geremek's mandate. He added that the Conference of Presidents and the JURI Committee would be looking into the matter with a view to upholding Parliament's independence.

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 80(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having consulted the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2)
  ,

Whereas:

| (1) | In order to protect persons and goods within the European
  Union, acts
  of unlawful interference with civil aircraft
  which jeopardise the security of civil aviation should be prevented by establishing
  common rules for safeguarding civil
  aviation. This
  objective should be achieved by setting common rules and common basic standards on aviation security as well as mechanisms for monitoring compliance. |

| (4) | The content of Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002 should be revised in the light of the experience gained, and the Regulation itself should be repealed and replaced by this Regulation seeking the simplification, harmonisation and clarification of the existing rules and the improvement of the levels of security. |

The content of Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002 should be revised in the light of the experience gained, and the Regulation itself should be repealed and replaced by this Regulation seeking the simplification, harmonisation and clarification of the existing rules and the improvement of the levels of security.

| (5) | Given the need for more flexibility in adopting security measures and procedures in order to meet evolving risk assessments and to allow new technologies to be introduced, this Regulation should lay down the basic principles of what has to be done in order to safeguard civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference without going into technical and procedural details on how they are to be implemented. |

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (1),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),

Whereas:

| (1) | The Green Paper on the fight against counterfeiting and piracy in the Single Market presented by the Commission on 15 October 1998 noted that counterfeiting and piracy had grown into an international phenomenon with major repercussions at economic and social level and in terms of consumer protection, especially as regards public health and safety. An action plan was drawn up as part of the follow-up to the Green Paper and was included in a communication on the same subject from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament and the Economic and Social Committee on 30 November 2000. |

In its conclusions, the Brussels European Council of 20 and 21 March 2003 invited the Commission and the Member States to improve exploitation of intellectual property rights by taking forward measures against counterfeiting and piracy.

| (3) | At international level, all Member States, as well as the Community itself, as regards matters within its competence, are bound by the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (the ‘TRIPS Agreement’), concluded in the framework of the World Trade Organization and approved by Council Decision 94/800/EC (3). The TRIPS Agreement contains, in particular, provisions on criminal matters which are common standards applicable at international level, but the disparities between Member States are still too great, and they do not permit effective combating of intellectual property offences, particularly the most serious ones. This causes a loss of confidence in the Internal Market in business circles, with a consequent reduction in investment in innovation and creation. |

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 25 April 2007 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2007/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2002/59/EC establishing a Community vessel traffic monitoring and information system

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 80(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

| (1) | With the adoption of Directive 2002/59/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2002 establishing a Community vessel traffic monitoring and information system and repealing Council Directive 93/75/EEC (4), the European Union reinforced its capacity for preventing situations posing a threat to the safety of human life at sea and the protection of the marine environment. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

With the adoption of Directive 2002/59/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2002 establishing a Community vessel traffic monitoring and information system and repealing Council Directive 93/75/EEC (4), the European Union reinforced its capacity for preventing situations posing a threat to the safety of human life at sea and the protection of the marine environment.

| (2) | Under this Directive Member States that are coastal States should be able to exchange information which they gather in the course of maritime traffic monitoring missions which they carry out in their areas of competence. The Community information exchange system SafeSeaNet, developed by the Commission in agreement with the Member States, comprises, on the one hand, a data exchange network and, on the other hand, a standardisation of the main information available on ships and their cargo (advance notice and reporting). It thus makes it possible to locate at source and communicate to any authority accurate and up-to-date information on ships in European waters, their movements and their dangerous or polluting cargoes, as well as marine incidents. |

| (3) | Accordingly, in order to guarantee operational use of the information gathered in this way, it is essential that the infrastructure necessary for the data collection and exchange referred to in this Directive and implemented by the national administrations be integrated into the Community information exchange system SafeSeaNet. |

Accordingly, in order to guarantee operational use of the information gathered in this way, it is essential that the infrastructure necessary for the data collection and exchange referred to in this Directive and implemented by the national administrations be integrated into the Community information exchange system SafeSeaNet.

| (4) | Of the information notified and exchanged pursuant to Directive 2002/59/EC, that concerning the precise characteristics of dangerous or polluting goods carried by sea is particularly important. Accordingly, and in the light of recent maritime accidents, the coastal authorities should be allowed easier access to the characteristics of the hydrocarbons being carried by sea, an essential factor in choosing the most suitable control techniques, and, in an emergency, provided with a direct link to those operators who have the best knowledge of the goods being carried. |

| (5) | The automatic ship identification systems (AIS — Automatic Identification System) referred to in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (hereinafter referred to as‘the SOLAS Convention’) make it possible not only to improve the possibilities of monitoring these ships but above all to make them safer in close navigation situations. They have accordingly been integrated into the enacting terms of Directive 2002/59/EC. Considering the large number of collisions involving fishing vessels that have clearly not been seen by merchant ships or which have not seen the merchant ships around them, extension of this measure to include fishing vessels with a length of more than 15 metres is very much to be desired.
  The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has recognised that the publication for commercial purposes on the internet or elsewhere of AIS data transmitted by ships could be detrimental to the safety and security of ships and port facilities and has urged member governments, subject to the provisions of their national laws, to discourage those who make available AIS data to others for publication on the internet, or elsewhere, from doing so. In addition, the availability of AIS information on ships' routes and cargoes should not be detrimental to fair competition between actors in the shipping industry. |

In addition, the availability of AIS information on ships' routes and cargoes should not be detrimental to fair competition between actors in the shipping industry.

| (6) | It would be useful to study what synergies might be possible between AIS and the positioning and communication systems used in the context of the common fisheries policy, such as the satellitebased vessel monitoring system (VMS).
  The timetable for fitting vessels with AIS should accordingly be determined in the light of the findings of such a study.
  Investigation of the possibilities of integrating these systems should take account of the needs and requirements of controlling fishing fleets, particularly as regards the security and confidentiality of the data transmitted. |

  Investigation of the possibilities of integrating these systems should take account of the needs and requirements of controlling fishing fleets, particularly as regards the security and confidentiality of the data transmitted.

| (7) | This Directive provides that new ships must be fitted with AIS. To equip the existing fishing fleet, a special budget line should be created in addition to the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance, which would allow cofinancing of up to around 90% from Community funds, regardless of geographical area. |

| (8) | Article 16 of Directive 2002/59/EC provides that Member States are to adopt special measures in respect of ships posing a potential hazard due to their behaviour or condition. It therefore seems desirable to add to the list of these ships those which do not have satisfactory insurance cover or financial guarantees or which have been reported by pilots or port authorities as having deficiencies which may prejudice their safe navigation or create a risk for the environment. |

| (9) | In accordance with Article 18 of Directive 2002/59/EC concerning the risks posed by exceptionally bad weather, it seems necessary to take into account the potential danger to shipping from ice formation. Therefore, where a competent authority designated by a Member State considers, on the basis of an ice forecast provided by a qualified information service, that the sailing conditions are creating a serious threat to the safety of human life or of pollution, it should inform the masters of the ships present in its area of competence or intending to enter or leave the port or ports in the area concerned. The authority concerned should be able to take any appropriate steps to ensure the safety of human life at sea and to protect the environment.
  To avoid possible problems with the ice rules laid down by some classification societies, it would be helpful if states standardised their rules; in this regard there could be unified requirements from the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) or other leading associations in order to avoid such possible conflicts. |

| (10) | Article 20 of Directive 2002/59/EC provides in particular that the Member States must draw up plans to accommodate, if the situation so requires, ships in distress in their ports or in any other protected place in the best possible conditions, in order to limit the consequences of accidents at sea. |

| (11) | However, in the light of the guidelines on places of refuge adopted by the IMO after Directive 2002/59/EC was adopted and following the work carried out jointly by the Commission, the European Maritime Safety Agency and the Member States, it seems necessary to lay down precisely the basic provisions that the ‘place of refuge’ plans must contain in order to ensure a harmonised and effective implementation of this measure and clarify the scope of obligations incumbent on the Member States. |

| (12) | It is important, in
  the event of a situation of distress at sea, that is to say, a situation that could give rise to loss of a vessel or an environmental or navigational hazard,
  to be able to call on an independent authority having the powers and expertise to take any necessary decisions to assist the vessel in distress with a view to protecting human lives and the environment and minimising economic damage. It is desirable that the competent authority should be permanent in nature. In particular, this authority should be empowered to take an independent
  decision may have to be taken as regards the accommodation of a ship in distress in a place of refuge. To this end,
  it
  should make a preliminary evaluation of the situation on the basis of the information contained in the relevant ‘place of refuge’ plan. |

To that end it is important that not only Directive 2007/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of ... [on the civil liability and financial guarantees of shipowners] and regulations of the International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds, but also the 1996 International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea (the HNS Convention) and the 2001 International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage (the Bunker Oil Convention) be applied. Member States should therefore ratify these conventions as soon as possible. It is also desirable that Member States should press, within the IMO, for the adoption of the Wreck Removal Convention. In exceptional cases, Member States should ensure the compensation of costs and economic loss suffered by a port as a result of accommodating a ship in distress, particularly if such costs and economic loss are not covered by the financial guarantees of the vessel owners and other existing compensation mechanisms. |

In addition to providing necessary particulars and other background information, this part of the report includes the results of any relevant examinations or tests and any safety action that might already have been taken to prevent future marine casualties.

3.   Narrative

This part reconstructs the marine casualty or incident through a sequence of events, in a chronological order leading up to, during and following the marine casualty or incident and the involvement of each actor (i.e. person, material, environment, equipment or external agent). The period covered by the narrative depends on the timing of those particular accidental events that directly contributed to the marine casualty or incident.

4.   Analysis

This part includes a number of discrete sections, providing an analysis of each accidental event, with comments relating to the results of any relevant examinations or tests conducted during the course of the investigation and to any safety action that might already have been taken to prevent future marine casualties.

These sections should cover issues such as:

| — | accidental event context and environment, |
| --- | --- |

—

accidental event context and environment,

| — | human erroneous actions and omissions, events involving hazardous material, environmental effects, equipment failures, and external influences, |
| --- | --- |

—

| — | contributing factors involving person related functions, shipboard operations, shore management or regulatory influence. |
| --- | --- |

—

contributing factors involving person related functions, shipboard operations, shore management or regulatory influence.

The analysis and comment enable the report to reach logical conclusions, establishing all of the contributing factors, including those with risks for which existing defences aimed at preventing an accidental event, and/ or those aimed at eliminating or reducing its consequences, are assessed to be either inadequate or missing.

5.   Conclusions

This part consolidates the established contributing factors and missing or inadequate defences (material, functional, symbolic or procedural) for which safety actions should be developed to prevent future marine casualties.

6.   Safety recommendations

When appropriate, this part of the report contains safety recommendations derived from the analysis and conclusions and related to particular subject areas, such as legislation, design, procedures, inspection, management, health and safety at work, training, repair work, maintenance, shore assistance and emergency response.

The safety recommendations are addressed to those that are best-placed to implement them, such as ship owners, managers, recognised organisations, maritime authorities, vessel traffic services, emergency bodies, international maritime organisations and European institutions, with the aim of preventing future marine casualties.

This part also includes any interim safety recommendations that may have been made during the course of the safety investigation.

| (c) | The institution or organization authorized to issue certificates in accordance with this paragraph shall, as a minimum, be authorized to withdraw these certificates if the conditions under which they have been issued are not complied with. In all cases the institution or organization shall report such withdrawal to the State on whose behalf the certificate was issued. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

The institution or organization authorized to issue certificates in accordance with this paragraph shall, as a minimum, be authorized to withdraw these certificates if the conditions under which they have been issued are not complied with. In all cases the institution or organization shall report such withdrawal to the State on whose behalf the certificate was issued.

4. The certificate shall be in the official language or languages of the issuing State. If the language used is not English, French or Spanish, the text shall include a translation into one of these languages, and, where the State so decides, the official language of the State may be omitted.

5. The certificate shall be carried on board the ship, and a copy shall be deposited with the authorities who keep the record of the ship's registry or, if the ship is not registered in a State Party, with the authority of the State issuing or certifying the certificate.

6. An insurance or other financial security shall not satisfy the requirements of this Article if it can cease, for reasons other than the expiry of the period of validity of the insurance or security specified in the certificate, before three months have elapsed from the date on which notice of its termination is given to the authorities referred to in paragraph 5, unless the certificate has been surrendered to these authorities or a new certificate has been issued within the said period.

In such cases, the State Party relying on such information is not relieved of its responsibility as a State issuing the certificate.

9. Certificates issued or certified under the authority of a State Party shall be accepted by other States Parties for the purposes of this Convention and shall be regarded by other States Parties as having the same force as certificates issued or certified by them, even if issued or certified in respect of a ship not registered in a State Party. A State Party may at any time request consultation with the issuing or certifying State should it believe that the insurer or guarantor named in the insurance certificate is not financially capable of meeting the obligations imposed by this Convention.

10. Any claim for compensation covered by insurance or other financial security pursuant to this Article may be brought directly against the insurer or other person providing financial security. In such case, the amount set out in paragraph 1 applies as the limit of liability of the insurer or other person providing financial security, even if the carrier or the performing carrier is not entitled to limitation of liability. The defendant may further invoke the defences (other than the bankruptcy or winding up) which the carrier referred to in paragraph 1 would have been entitled to invoke in accordance with this Convention. Furthermore, the defendant may invoke the defence that the damage resulted from the wilful misconduct of the assured, but the defendant shall not invoke any other defence which the defendant might have been entitled to invoke in proceedings brought by the assured against the defendant. The defendant shall in any event have the right to require the carrier and the performing carrier to be joined in the proceedings.

11. Any sums provided by insurance or by other financial security maintained in accordance with paragraph 1 shall be available exclusively for the satisfaction of claims under this Convention, and any payments made of such sums shall discharge any liability arising under this Convention to the extent of the amounts paid.

12. A State Party shall not permit a ship under its flag to which this Article applies to operate at any time unless a certificate has been issued under paragraphs 2 or 15.

13. Subject to the provisions of this Article, each State Party shall ensure, under its national law, that insurance or other financial security, to the extent specified in paragraph 1, is in force in respect of any ship that is licensed to carry more than 12 passengers, wherever registered, entering or leaving a port in its territory in so far as this Convention applies.

14. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 5, a State Party may notify the Secretary-General that, for the purposes of paragraph 13, ships are not required to carry on board or to produce the certificate required by paragraph 2 when entering or leaving ports in its territory, provided that the State Party which issues the certificate has notified the Secretary-General that it maintains records in an electronic format, accessible to all States Parties, attesting the existence of the certificate and enabling States Parties to discharge their obligations under paragraph 13.

15. If insurance or other financial security is not maintained in respect of a ship owned by a State Party, the provisions of this Article relating thereto shall not be applicable to such ship, but the ship shall carry a certificate issued by the appropriate authorities of the State of the ship's registry, stating that the ship is owned by that State and that the liability is covered within the amount prescribed in accordance with paragraph 1. Such a certificate shall follow as closely as possible the model prescribed by paragraph 2.

ARTICLE 5

Valuables

The carrier shall not be liable for the loss of or damage to monies, negotiable securities, gold, silverware, jewellery, ornaments, works of art, or other valuables, except where such valuables have been deposited with the carrier for the agreed purpose of safe-keeping in which case the carrier shall be liable up to the limit provided for in paragraph 3 of Article 8 unless a higher limit is agreed upon in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 10.

ARTICLE 6

Contributory fault

If the carrier proves that the death of or personal injury to a passenger or the loss of or damage to his luggage was caused or contributed to by the fault or neglect of the passenger, the Court seized of the case may exonerate the carrier wholly or partly from his liability in accordance with the provisions of the law of that court.

ARTICLE 7

Limit of liability for death and personal injury

1. The liability of the carrier for the death of or personal injury to a passenger under Article 3 shall in no case exceed 400 000 units of account per passenger on each distinct occasion. Where, in accordance with the law of the court seized of the case, damages are awarded in the form of periodical income payments, the equivalent capital value of those payments shall not exceed the said limit.

2. A State Party may regulate by specific provisions of national law the limit of liability prescribed in paragraph 1, provided that the national limit of liability, if any, is not lower than that prescribed in paragraph 1. A State Party, which makes use of the option provided for in this paragraph, shall inform the Secretary-General of the limit of liability adopted or of the fact that there is none.

ARTICLE 8

Limit of liability for loss of or damage to luggage and vehicles

1. The liability of the carrier for the loss of or damage to cabin luggage shall in no case exceed 2 250 units of account per passenger, per carriage.

ARTICLE 9

Unit of Account and conversion

1. The Unit of Account mentioned in this Convention is the Special Drawing Right as defined by the International Monetary Fund. The amounts mentioned in Article 3, paragraph 1, Article 4bis, paragraph 1, Article 7, paragraph 1, and Article 8 shall be converted into the national currency of the State of the court seized of the case on the basis of the value of that currency by reference to the Special Drawing Right on the date of the judgment or the date agreed upon by the parties. The value of the national currency, in terms of the Special Drawing Right, of a State Party which is a member of the International Monetary Fund, shall be calculated in accordance with the method of valuation applied by the International Monetary Fund in effect on the date in question for its operations and transactions. The value of the national currency, in terms of the Special Drawing Right, of a State Party which is not a member of the International Monetary Fund, shall be calculated in a manner determined by that State Party.

2. Nevertheless, a State which is not a member of the International Monetary Fund and whose law does not permit the application of the provisions of paragraph 1 may, at the time of ratification, acceptance, approval of or accession to this Convention or at any time thereafter, declare that the Unit of Account referred to in paragraph 1 shall be equal to 15 gold francs. The gold franc referred to in this paragraph corresponds to sixty-five and a half milligrams of gold of millesimal fineness nine hundred. The conversion of the gold franc into the national currency shall be made according to the law of the State concerned.

3. The calculation mentioned in the last sentence of paragraph 1, and the conversion mentioned in paragraph 2 shall be made in such a manner as to express in the national currency of the States Parties, as far as possible, the same real value for the amounts in Article 3, paragraph 1, Article 4bis, paragraph 1, Article 7, paragraph 1, and Article 8 as would result from the application of the first three sentences of paragraph 1. States shall communicate to the Secretary-General the manner of calculation pursuant to paragraph 1, or the result of the conversion in paragraph 2, as the case may be, when depositing an instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval of or accession to this Convention and whenever there is a change in either.

ARTICLE 12

1. Where the limits of liability prescribed in Articles 7 and 8 take effect, they shall apply to the aggregate of the amounts recoverable in all claims arising out of the death of or personal injury to any one passenger or the loss of or damage to his luggage.

2. In relation to the carriage performed by a performing carrier, the aggregate of the amounts recoverable from the carrier and the performing carrier and from their servants and agents acting within the scope of their employment shall not exceed the highest amount which could be awarded against either the carrier or the performing carrier under this Convention, but none of the persons mentioned shall be liable for a sum in excess of the limit applicable to him.

3. In any case where a servant or agent of the carrier or of the performing carrier is entitled under Article 11 of this Convention to avail himself of the limits of liability prescribed in Articles 7 and 8, the aggregate of the amounts recoverable from the carrier, or the performing carrier as the case may be, and from that servant or agent, shall not exceed those limits.

ARTICLE 13

Loss of right to limit liability

1. The carrier shall not be entitled to the benefit of the limits of liability prescribed in Articles 7 and 8 and paragraph 1 of Article 10, if it is proved that the damage resulted from an act or omission of the carrier done with the intent to cause such damage, or recklessly and with knowledge that such damage would probably result.

2. The servant or agent of the carrier or of the performing carrier shall not be entitled to the benefit of those limits if it is proved that the damage resulted from an act or omission of that servant or agent done with the intent to cause such damage, or recklessly and with knowledge that such damage would probably result.

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 80(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

| (1) | Council Directive 95/21/EC of 19 June 1995 on port State control of shipping (4) has been substantially amended several times. Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity. |

To this end, the Community hopes for the early ratification of the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), part 5.2.1 of which refers to port state obligations.

| (6) | Monitoring the compliance of ships with the international standards for safety, pollution prevention and shipboard living and working conditions should rest primarily with the flag State. However, there has been a serious failure on the part of a number of flag States to implement and enforce international standards. Henceforth the monitoring of compliance with the international standards for safety, pollution prevention and shipboard living and working conditions should also be ensured by the port State
  , on the understanding that a port state inspection is not an expert appraisal, that inspection reports are not equivalent to a seaworthiness certificate, and that port state control cannot absolve flag states from their responsibilities

  should concentrate on substandard ships, while quality ships, meaning those which have satisfactory inspection records or which fly the flag of a State complying with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Member State Audit Scheme, should be rewarded by undergoing less frequent inspections. Such new inspection arrangements should be incorporated into the Community's port State control regime as soon as its various aspects have been defined and on the basis of an inspection-sharing scheme whereby each Member State contributes fairly to the achievement of the Community objective of a comprehensive inspection scheme.
  Moreover, Member States should recruit and retain the requisite number of staff, including qualified inspectors, taking into account the volume and characteristics of shipping traffic at each port. |

Article 3

Scope

1.   This Directive applies to any ship and its crew calling at a port or at an anchorage of a Member State.

France may decide that the ports covered by this paragraph do not include ports situated in the overseas departments referred to in Article 299(2) of the Treaty.

Where a Member State carries out an inspection on a ship in its territorial waters but outside a port, such a procedure shall be deemed to be an inspection for the purposes of this Directive.

Nothing in this Article shall affect the rights of intervention available to a Member State under the relevant international Conventions.

Member States without sea ports may derogate from the application of this Directive, under certain conditions. The Commission shall adopt, in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 30(2), the measures for the implementation of this derogation mechanism.

2.   In the case of ships of a gross tonnage below 500, Member States shall apply those requirements of a relevant Convention which are applicable and shall, to the extent that a Convention does not apply, take such action as may be necessary to ensure that the ships concerned are not clearly hazardous to safety, health or the environment. In their application of this paragraph, Member States shall be guided by Annex 1 to the Paris MOU.

3.   When inspecting a ship flying the flag of a State which is not a party to a Convention, Member States shall ensure that the treatment given to such ship and its crew is no more favourable than that given to a ship flying the flag of a State which is a party to that Convention.

4.   Fishing vessels, ships of war, naval auxiliaries, wooden ships of a primitive build, government ships used for non-commercial purposes and pleasure yachts not engaged in trade shall be excluded from the scope of this Directive.

Article 4

Inspection powers

1.   Member States shall take all necessary measures in order to be legally entitled to carry out on board foreign ships the inspections referred to in this Directive in accordance with international law.

2.   Member States shall maintain appropriate competent authorities for the inspection of ships and shall take whatever measures are appropriate to ensure that
  they
  perform their duties as laid down in this Directive. In particular, they shall recruit and retain the requisite number of staff, including qualified inspectors, taking into account the volume and characteristics of shipping traffic at each port.

Member States shall put in place appropriate arrangements to ensure that inspectors are available for carrying out
  initial and expanded inspections
  in accordance with
  Articles 12 and 13
  and
  Annex I, Part II
  .

Article 5

Types of inspections

1.   
  Member States shall ensure that ships which are selected for inspection in accordance with Article 11 are subject to an initial inspection, a more detailed inspection or an expanded inspection as follows:

| (a) | On each initial inspection of a ship, the
  competent authority shall ensure that the inspector shall, as a
  minimum, check
  the certificates and documents
  listed in Annex IV
  required to be kept on board in accordance with the

(a)

On each initial inspection of a ship, the
  competent authority shall ensure that the inspector shall, as a
  minimum, check
  the certificates and documents
  listed in Annex IV
  required to be kept on board in accordance with the
  applicable
  Community maritime safety legislation and international
  Conventions
  ,

| (b) | When
  a ship has been authorised to leave a port on condition that the deficiencies are rectified at the next port, the inspection at the next port shall be limited to verifying whether these deficiencies have been rectified. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

When
  a ship has been authorised to leave a port on condition that the deficiencies are rectified at the next port, the inspection at the next port shall be limited to verifying whether these deficiencies have been rectified.

However, the inspector may, in the exercise of his professional judgement, decide that the inspection must be extended to cover additional
  verifications.

3.   
  More detailed inspection

A more detailed inspection shall be carried out, including further checking of compliance with on-board operational requirements, whenever
  there are clear grounds for believing, after the inspection referred to in
  paragraph 2 point (b),
  that the condition of a ship or of its equipment or crew does not substantially meet the relevant requirements of a
  Convention.

‘
  Clear
  grounds’ exist when the inspector finds evidence which in his professional judgement warrants a more detailed inspection of the ship, its equipment or its crew.

Examples of ‘clear grounds’ are set out in Annex V and VII,
  Section C.

Article 17

Complaints

All complaints
  within the meaning of Article 2(15) made by persons with a demonstrated legitimate interest
  regarding conditions on board shall be
  subject to an initial investigation by the competent authority
  .

The initial investigation must make it possible to establish swiftly whether the complaint is admissible or whether it is manifestly unfounded or clearly abusive.

When the competent authority deems the complaint to be manifestly unfounded, it shall inform the complainant of its decision and of the reasons for it.

The identity of the person lodging the complaint shall not be revealed to the master or the shipowner of the ship concerned. The inspector shall ensure confidentiality during any interviews of crew members.

Member States shall inform the flag State administration, with a copy to the ILO if appropriate, of complaints not manifestly unfounded and of follow-up actions taken.

Article 18

Rectification and detention

1.   The competent authority shall be satisfied that any deficiencies confirmed or revealed by the inspection are or will be rectified in accordance with the Conventions.

2.   In the case of deficiencies which are clearly hazardous to safety, health or the environment, the competent authority of the port State where the ship is being inspected shall ensure that the ship is detained, or the operation in the course of which the deficiencies have been revealed is stopped. The detention order or stoppage of an operation shall not be lifted until the hazard is removed or until such authority establishes that the ship can, subject to any necessary conditions, proceed to sea or the operation be resumed without risk to the safety and health of passengers or crew, or risk to other ships, or without there being an unreasonable threat of harm to the marine environment.

| 3. | (a) | include a direction that the ship shall remain in a particular place, or shall move to a particular anchorage or berth; and |
| --- | --- | --- |
| (b) | specify the circumstances in which the master of the ship may move the ship from a specified place for reasons of safety or prevention of pollution. |

3.

(a)

include a direction that the ship shall remain in a particular place, or shall move to a particular anchorage or berth; and

(b)

specify the circumstances in which the master of the ship may move the ship from a specified place for reasons of safety or prevention of pollution.

4.   When exercising his professional judgement as to whether or not a ship should be detained, the inspector shall apply the criteria set out in Annex XI.

In this respect, if the inspection reveals that the ship is not equipped with a functioning voyage data recorder, when its use is compulsory in accordance with Directive 2002/59/EC, the competent authority shall ensure that the ship is detained.

If the deficiencies justifying detention cannot be readily rectified in the port of detention, the competent authority may allow the ship to proceed to the nearest available repair yard to the port of detention where it may be readily rectified or it may require that the deficiencies be rectified within a maximum period of 30 days, in accordance with the guidelines developed by the Paris MOU. For these purposes, the procedures laid down in Article 20 shall apply.

5.   In exceptional circumstances, where the overall condition of a ship is obviously substandard, the competent authority may suspend the inspection of that ship until the responsible parties have taken the steps necessary to ensure that it complies with the relevant requirements of the Conventions.

6.   In the event of detention, the competent authority shall immediately inform, in writing and including the report of inspection, the flag State administration or, when this is not possible, the Consul or, in his absence, the nearest diplomatic representative of that State, of all the circumstances in which intervention was deemed necessary. In addition, nominated surveyors or recognised organisations responsible for the issue of class certificates or
  statutory certificates
  in accordance with international Conventions shall also be
  notified
  .

7.   The provisions of this Directive shall be without prejudice to the additional requirements of the Conventions concerning notification and reporting procedures related to port State control.

8.   When exercising port State control under this Directive, all possible efforts shall be made to avoid a ship being unduly detained or delayed. If a ship is unduly detained or delayed, the owner or operator shall be entitled to compensation for any loss or damage suffered. In any instance of alleged undue detention or delay the burden of proof shall lie with the owner or operator of the ship.

9.
     
  The competent authority shall inform the port authority at its earliest convenience when a detention order is issued.

10.   In order to alleviate port congestion, a competent authority may allow a detained ship to be moved to another part of the port if it is safe to do so. However, the risk of port congestion shall not be a consideration when deciding on a detention or on a release from detention.

Port authorities shall cooperate with the competent authority with a view to facilitating the accommodation of detained ships.

Article 19

Right of appeal

1.   The owner or the operator of a ship or his representative in the Member State shall have a right of appeal against a detention decision or refusal of access taken by the competent authority. An appeal shall not cause the detention or refusal of access to be suspended
  , but shall be mentioned in the inspection database
  .

2.   Member States shall establish and maintain appropriate procedures for this purpose in accordance with their national legislation
  and shall cooperate in order to achieve coherent norms and procedures for the implementation of this Article, particularly with a view to ensuring that appeals are dealt with within a reasonable time
  .

Article 20

Follow-up to inspections and detentions

1.   Where deficiencies as referred to in Article 18(2) cannot be rectified in the port of inspection, the competent authority of that Member State may allow the ship concerned to proceed
  directly
  to the nearest available repair yard to the port of detention where follow-up action can be taken, as chosen by the master and the authorities concerned, provided that the conditions determined by the competent authority of the flag State and agreed by that Member State are complied with. Such conditions shall ensure that the ship can proceed without risk to the safety and health of passengers or crew, or risk to other ships, or without there being an unreasonable threat of harm to the marine environment.

2.   Where the decision to send a ship to a repair yard is due to a lack of compliance with IMO Resolution A.744(18), either with respect to a ship's documentation or with respect to a ship's structural failures and deficiencies, the competent authority may require that the necessary thickness measurements be carried out in the port of detention before the ship is allowed to sail.

3.   In the circumstances referred to in paragraph 1, the competent authority of the Member State in the port of inspection shall notify the competent authority of the State where the repair yard is situated, the parties mentioned in Article 18(6) and any other authority as appropriate of all the conditions for the voyage.

The competent authority of a Member State receiving such notification shall inform the notifying authority of the action taken.

| (a) | without complying with the conditions determined by the competent authority of any Member State in the port of inspection; or |
| --- | --- |

(a)

without complying with the conditions determined by the competent authority of any Member State in the port of inspection; or

| (b) | which refuse to comply with the applicable requirements of the Conventions by not calling into the indicated repair yard. |

5.   In the circumstances referred to in paragraph 4(a), the competent authority of the Member State where the ship was found defective shall immediately alert the competent authorities of all the other Member States.

In the circumstances referred to in paragraph 4(b), the competent authority of the Member State in which the repair yard lies shall immediately alert the competent authorities of all the other Member States.

Before denying entry, the Member State may request consultations with the flag administration of the ship concerned.

6.   By way of derogation from the provisions of paragraph 4, access to a specific port
  or anchorage
  may be permitted by the relevant authority of that port State in the event of force majeure or overriding safety considerations, or to reduce or minimise the risk of pollution or to have deficiencies rectified, provided that adequate measures to the satisfaction of the competent authority of such Member State have been implemented by the owner, the operator or the master of the ship to ensure safe entry.

Article 21

Professional profile of inspectors

1.   The inspections shall be carried out only by inspectors who fulfil the qualification criteria specified in Annex XII and who are authorised to carry out port State control by the competent authority.

2.   When the required professional expertise cannot be provided by the competent authority of the port State, the inspector of that competent authority may be assisted by any person with the required expertise.

3.   The competent authority, the inspectors carrying out port State control and the persons assisting them shall have no commercial interest either in the port of inspection or in the ships inspected, nor shall the inspectors be employed by or undertake work on behalf of non-governmental organisations which issue statutory and classification certificates or which carry out the surveys necessary for the issue of those certificates to ships.

4.   Each inspector shall carry a personal document in the form of an identity card issued by his competent authority in accordance with Commission Directive 96/40/EC of 25 June 1996 establishing a common model for an identity card for inspectors carrying out port State control
   (11).

ANNEX XI

CRITERIA FOR DETENTION OF A SHIP

(as referred to in Article 18(4))

Introduction

Before determining whether deficiencies found during an inspection warrant detention of the ship involved, the inspector must apply the criteria mentioned below in points 1 and 2.

Point 3 includes examples of deficiencies that may for themselves warrant detention of the ship involved (see Article 18(4)).

Where the ground for detention is the result of accidental damage suffered on the ship's voyage to a port, no detention order shall be issued, provided that:

| (a) | due account has been given to the requirements contained in Regulation I/11(c) of SOLAS 74 regarding notification to the flag State administration, the nominated surveyor or the recognised organisation responsible for issuing the relevant certificate; |
| --- | --- |

(a)

due account has been given to the requirements contained in Regulation I/11(c) of SOLAS 74 regarding notification to the flag State administration, the nominated surveyor or the recognised organisation responsible for issuing the relevant certificate;

| (b) | prior to entering a port, the master or shipowner has submitted to the port State control authority details on the circumstances of the accident and the damage suffered and information about the required notification of the flag State administration; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

prior to entering a port, the master or shipowner has submitted to the port State control authority details on the circumstances of the accident and the damage suffered and information about the required notification of the flag State administration;

| (c) | appropriate remedial action, to the satisfaction of the Authority, is being taken by the ship; and |
| --- | --- |

(c)

appropriate remedial action, to the satisfaction of the Authority, is being taken by the ship; and

| (d) | the authority has ensured, having been notified of the completion of the remedial action, that deficiencies which were clearly hazardous to safety, health or the environment have been rectified. |
| --- | --- |

(d)

the authority has ensured, having been notified of the completion of the remedial action, that deficiencies which were clearly hazardous to safety, health or the environment have been rectified.

| 1. | Main criteria
  When exercising his professional judgement as to whether or not a ship should be detained the inspector must apply the following criteria:
  Timing:
  Ships which are unsafe to proceed to sea must be detained upon the first inspection irrespective of how much time the ship will stay in port.
  Criterion:
  The ship is detained if its deficiencies are sufficiently serious to merit an inspector returning to satisfy himself that they have been rectified before the ship sails.
  The need for the inspector to return to the ship is a measure of the seriousness of the deficiencies. However, it does not impose such an obligation for every case. It implies that the authority must verify one way or another, preferably by a further visit, that the deficiencies have been rectified before departure. |

| 14. | provide the maximum of information in case of accident. |
| --- | --- |

14.

provide the maximum of information in case of accident.

If the answer to any of these assessments is negative, taking into account all deficiencies found, the ship must be strongly considered for detention. A combination of deficiencies of a less serious nature may also warrant the detention of the ship.

| 3. | To assist the inspector in the use of these guidelines, there follows a list of deficiencies, grouped under relevant conventions and/or codes, which are considered of such a serious nature that they may warrant the detention of the ship involved. This list is not intended to be exhaustive.






  3.1. | General
  The lack of valid certificates and documents as required by the relevant instruments. However, ships flying the flag of States not party to a Convention (relevant instrument) or not having implemented another relevant instrument, are not entitled to carry the certificates provided for by the Convention or other relevant instrument. Therefore, absence of the required certificates should not by itself constitute reason to detain these ships; however, in applying the ‘no more favourable treatment’ clause, substantial compliance with the provisions is required before the ship sails. |

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 25 April 2007 with a view to the adoption of Directive 2007/.../EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organisations and for the relevant activities of maritime authorities (recast version)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 80(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (3),

Whereas:

| (1) | Council Directive 94/57/EC of 22 November 1994 on common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organisations and for the relevant activities of maritime administrations (4) has been substantially amended several times. Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity. |

(1)

Council Directive 94/57/EC of 22 November 1994 on common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organisations and for the relevant activities of maritime administrations (4) has been substantially amended several times. Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.

| (2) | In its resolution of 8 June 1993 on a common policy on safe seas (5), the Council set the objective of removing all substandard vessels from Community waters and gave priority to Community action designed to secure the effective and uniform implementation of international rules by elaborating common standards for classification societies, defined as ship inspection and survey organisations (hereinafter ‘recognised organisations’)
  . |

  .

| (3) | Safety and pollution prevention at sea may be effectively enhanced by strictly applying international conventions, codes and resolutions while furthering the objective of ensuring the freedom to provide services. |

(3)

Safety and pollution prevention at sea may be effectively enhanced by strictly applying international conventions, codes and resolutions while furthering the objective of ensuring the freedom to provide services.

| (4) | The control of compliance of ships with the uniform international standards for safety and prevention of pollution of the seas is the responsibility of flag and port States. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

The control of compliance of ships with the uniform international standards for safety and prevention of pollution of the seas is the responsibility of flag and port States.

| (5) | Member States are responsible for the issuing of international certificates for safety and
  the prevention of
  pollution provided for under conventions such as SOLAS 74, Load Lines 66 and Marpol 73/78, and for the implementation of the provisions of those conventions. |

Member States are responsible for the issuing of international certificates for safety and
  the prevention of
  pollution provided for under conventions such as SOLAS 74, Load Lines 66 and Marpol 73/78, and for the implementation of the provisions of those conventions.

| (6) | In compliance with such conventions, all Member States may authorise, to varying degrees, recognised organisations to carry out
  the certification of such compliance and may delegate the issue of the
  relevant certificates for safety and the prevention of pollution
  . |

(6)

In compliance with such conventions, all Member States may authorise, to varying degrees, recognised organisations to carry out
  the certification of such compliance and may delegate the issue of the
  relevant certificates for safety and the prevention of pollution
  .

| (7) | Worldwide, a large number of the existing
  recognised organisations
  do not ensure either adequate implementation of the rules or sufficient reliability when acting on behalf of national authorities as they do not have structures and experience adequate to be relied upon and to enable them to carry out their duties in a highly professional manner. |

Worldwide, a large number of the existing
  recognised organisations
  do not ensure either adequate implementation of the rules or sufficient reliability when acting on behalf of national authorities as they do not have structures and experience adequate to be relied upon and to enable them to carry out their duties in a highly professional manner.

| (8) | Furthermore, these
  recognised
  organisations
  produce
  and
  implement
  rules for the design, construction, maintenance and inspection of ships and
  are responsible for inspecting ships on behalf of flag States and certifying that those ships
  meet the requirements of the international conventions for the issue of the relevant certificates. To enable them to carry out those duties in a satisfactory manner they need to be strictly independent and to possess highly specialised technical competences and rigorous quality management. |

| (9) | Recognised
  organisations should be able to offer their services throughout the Community and compete with each other while providing equal levels of protection of safety and of the environment. The necessary professional standards for their activities should therefore be uniformly established and applied across the Community. |

(11)

Minimum criteria for the recognition of organisations should be established.

| (12) | In order to grant initial recognition to organisations wishing to be authorised to work on behalf of Member States, compliance with the minimum criteria could be assessed more effectively in a harmonised and centralised manner by the Commission together with the Member States requesting the recognition. |

(12)

In order to grant initial recognition to organisations wishing to be authorised to work on behalf of Member States, compliance with the minimum criteria could be assessed more effectively in a harmonised and centralised manner by the Commission together with the Member States requesting the recognition.

| (13) | Recognition should be granted only on the basis of the quality and safety performance of the organisation in question. It should be ensured that the extent of that recognition is at all times in keeping with the actual capacity of the organisation concerned. Recognition should furthermore take into account differences in legal status and corporate structure of recognised organisations while continuing to ensure uniform application of the minimum criteria and the effectiveness of the Community controls. |

The issue of the Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificate may be entrusted to private bodies having sufficient expertise and sufficient qualified personnel.

(15)

A Member State may restrict the number of
  recognised
  organisations it authorises in accordance with its needs, based on objective and transparent grounds, subject to control exercised by the Commission in accordance with a committee procedure.

| (16) | Since this Directive ensures freedom to provide services in the Community, the
  Commission
  should be entitled to negotiate, with those third countries where some of the recognised organisations are located, equal treatment for recognised organisations
  domiciled
  in the Community. |

Since this Directive ensures freedom to provide services in the Community, the
  Commission
  should be entitled to negotiate, with those third countries where some of the recognised organisations are located, equal treatment for recognised organisations
  domiciled
  in the Community.

| (17) | A close involvement of national authorities in ship surveys and in the issue of related certificates is necessary in order to ensure full compliance with international safety rules, even where Member States rely upon
  recognised
  organisations outside their control to carry out statutory duties. It is appropriate, therefore, to establish a close working relationship between those authorities and
  recognised
  organisations
  authorised by them
  , which may require that
  recognised organisations have
  a local representation on the territory of the Member State on behalf of which
  they perform their
  duties. |

| (18) | Divergence
  in financial
  liability regimes
  between recognised
  organisations working on behalf of Member States would impede the proper implementation of this Directive. In order to contribute to solving this problem it is appropriate to bring about a degree of harmonisation at Community level of the liability arising out of any
  marine casualty
  caused by a recognised organisation, as decided by a court of law, including the settlement of disputes through arbitration. |

(19)

The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (6).

| (20) | In particular, the Commission should be empowered to amend this Directive in order to apply subsequent amendments to the international conventions, protocols, codes and resolutions related thereto, to update the criteria set out in Annex I and to adopt criteria for the measurement of the safety and pollution prevention performance of recognised organisations. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, inter alia by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC. |

| (21) | The provisions of this Directive, and in particular the minimum criteria and the obligations to be fulfilled by recognised organisations, should be kept up-to-date, taking due account of progress in international fora, in accordance with the committee procedure. |
| --- | --- |

(21)

The provisions of this Directive, and in particular the minimum criteria and the obligations to be fulfilled by recognised organisations, should be kept up-to-date, taking due account of progress in international fora, in accordance with the committee procedure.

| (22) | It is of the utmost importance that failure by a recognised organisation to fulfil its obligations can be addressed in a prompt, effective and proportionate manner. The primary objective should be to correct any deficiencies with a view to removing any potential threat to safety or the environment at an early stage. The Commission should therefore be given the necessary powers to require that recognised organisations undertake the necessary preventive and remedial action and to impose fines and periodic penalty payments as coercive measures. |

The Commission should therefore be given the necessary powers to require that recognised organisations undertake the necessary preventive and remedial action and to impose fines and periodic penalty payments as coercive measures.

| (23) | In accordance with the Community-wide approach, the decision to withdraw the recognition of an organisation which fails to comply with this Directive if the coercive measures prove ineffective or the
  recognised
  organisation otherwise presents an unacceptable threat to safety or the environment, has to be taken at Community level, and therefore by the Commission, on the basis of the committee procedure. |

| (24) | Member States should nevertheless be left the possibility of suspending authorisation to a recognised organisation for reasons of serious danger to safety or environment. The Commission should decide urgently in accordance with the committee procedure whether it is necessary to overrule a national measure taken to such effect. |

Member States should periodically assess the performance of recognised
  organisations working on their behalf and provide the Commission and all the other Member States with precise information in relation thereto.

| (26) | The continuous a posteriori monitoring of recognised organisations to assess their compliance with this Directive can be carried out more effectively in a harmonised and centralised manner. Therefore it is appropriate that the Commission, together with Member States that authorise recognised organisations to act on their behalf
  , be entrusted with this task on behalf of the Community. |

Therefore it is appropriate that the Commission, together with Member States that authorise recognised organisations to act on their behalf
  , be entrusted with this task on behalf of the Community.

| (27) | As part of monitoring the operations of recognised organisations,
  Community inspectors
  should
  have access to ships and ship files regardless of the ship's flag in order to ascertain whether the recognised organisations in question are complying with the minimum criteria
  laid down in this Directive
  in respect of all ships in their respective classes. |

  laid down in this Directive
  in respect of all ships in their respective classes.

| (28) | Member States, in their capacity as port authorities, are required to enhance safety and prevention of pollution in Community waters through priority inspection of ships carrying certificates of
  recognised
  organisations which do not fulfil the common criteria, thereby ensuring that ships flying the flag of a third State do not receive more favourable treatment. |

Member States, in their capacity as port authorities, are required to enhance safety and prevention of pollution in Community waters through priority inspection of ships carrying certificates of
  recognised
  organisations which do not fulfil the common criteria, thereby ensuring that ships flying the flag of a third State do not receive more favourable treatment.

| (29) | At present there are no uniform international standards to which all ships must conform at the building stage and during their lifetime as regards hull, machinery and electrical and control installations. Such standards may be fixed according to the rules of
  recognised organisations
  or to equivalent standards to be decided by the national authorities in accordance with the procedure laid down in Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 June 1998 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations (7). |

Article 3

1.   In assuming their responsibilities and obligations under the international conventions, Member States shall ensure that their competent authorities can ensure the appropriate enforcement of the provisions of the international conventions, in particular with regard to the inspection and survey of ships and the issue of statutory certificates and exemption certificates as provided for by the international conventions. Member States shall act in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Annex and the Appendix to IMO Resolution A.847(20) on guidelines to assist flag States in the implementation of IMO instruments.

| (i) | to authorise
  recognised
  organisations to undertake fully or in part inspections and surveys related to statutory certificates, including those for the assessment of compliance with the rules referred to in Article 19(2), and, where appropriate, to issue or renew the related certificates; or |

(ii)

to
  entrust recognised
  organisations
  with the task of undertaking
  fully or in part the inspections and surveys referred to in point (i).

The competent authority shall in all cases approve the first issue of an exemption certificate.

However, in relation to the Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificate, these tasks may be entrusted to a private body recognised by a competent authority and with sufficient expertise and sufficient qualified personnel to carry out specified safety assessment work on radio-communication on behalf of that competent authority.

3.   This Article does not concern the certification of specific items of marine equipment.

Article 4

1.   Member States which wish to grant an authorisation to any organisation which is not yet recognised shall submit a request for recognition to the Commission, together with complete information on, and evidence of, compliance with the criteria set out in Annex I and on the requirement and undertaking that that organisation will comply with the requirements set out in Articles 20 and 21.

2.   The Commission, together with the Member States submitting a request, shall carry out assessments of the organisations for which that request was made in order to verify that those organisations meet and undertake to comply with the requirements referred to in paragraph 1.

Article 5

The Commission shall
  , in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 9(2),
  refuse to recognise organisations which fail to comply with the criteria set out in Annex I or the requirements of Articles 20 and 21, as referred to in Article 4(1), or whose performance is considered to constitute an unacceptable threat to safety or the environment on the basis of the criteria laid down in accordance with Article 14.

Article 6

1.   Recognition shall be granted by the Commission in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 9(2).

2.   Recognition shall be granted to the
  relevant
  parent entity
  in relation to all legal entities that make up the recognised organisation, that recognition being extended to all legal entities in a recognised organisation that contribute to ensuring that the parent entity provides cover for services provided by such legal entities globally.

3.   Recognition may at any time be limited or extended by the Commission, acting in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 9(2), as regards certain types of ships, ships of a certain size, certain trades, or a combination thereof in accordance with the proven capacity of the
  recognised
  organisation concerned.

4.   The Commission shall draw up and regularly update a list of the organisations recognised in accordance with this Article. This list shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Article 7

1.   In applying Article 3(2), Member States shall not refuse to authorise a recognised organisation to undertake the functions referred to in that paragraph, subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article and to Articles 8 and 16. However, Member States may restrict the number of
  recognised
  organisations they authorise to carry out those functions in accordance with their needs provided there are transparent and objective grounds for so doing.

At the request of a Member State, the Commission shall, in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 9(2), adopt the appropriate measures.

2.   In order for a Member State to accept that a recognised organisation located in a third State is to carry out
  on its behalf
  the tasks referred to in Article 3, or part of them, it may
  require
  the third State in question to grant reciprocal treatment for those recognised organisations which are located in the Community.

In addition, the Community may request the third State where a recognised organisation is located to grant reciprocal treatment for those recognised organisations which are located in the Community.

1.   Member States which make a decision pursuant to Article 3(2) shall set out a working relationship between their competent authority and the
  recognised
  organisations acting on their behalf.

Article 11

Where the Commission considers that a recognised organisation has failed to fulfil the criteria set out in Annex I or failed to fulfil its obligations under this Directive, or that the safety and pollution prevention performance of a recognised organisation has significantly deteriorated, without constituting, however, an unacceptable threat to safety or the environment, it shall require that recognised organisation to undertake the necessary preventive and remedial action to ensure full compliance with the criteria set out in Annex I and the obligations contained in this Directive, and, in particular, to remove any potential threat to safety or the environment and otherwise address the causes of that deterioration in performance.

The preventive and remedial action may include interim protective measures when the potential threat to safety or the environment is immediate.

However, and without prejudice to their immediate implementation, the Commission must give advance notice of the measures that it intends to take to all Member States which have granted an authorisation to the recognised organisation concerned.

Article 12

| 1. | (a) | whose
  repeated or serious
  failure to fulfil either the criteria set out in Annex I or its obligations under this Directive or whose worsening performance reveals grave shortcomings in its structure, systems, procedures or internal controls; or |

2.   Without prejudice to paragraph 1, where a recognised
  organisation fails to implement the preventive and remedial action required by the Commission, or incurs unjustified delays, the Commission may impose periodic penalty payments on that recognised
  organisation until the required action is fully implemented.

3.   The fines and periodic penalty payments referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be dissuasive and proportionate to both the gravity of the case and the economic capacity of the
  recognised
  organisation concerned, taking into account particularly the extent to which safety has been compromised.

These fines and periodic penalty payments shall be imposed only after the
  recognised
  organisation
  and the Member States
  concerned
  have
  been given the opportunity to submit
  their
  observations.

The aggregate amount of fines and periodic penalty payments imposed shall not exceed
  5%
  of the total turnover of the recognised organisation in the preceding business year in respect of activities falling within the scope of this Directive.

  that the recognised organisations acting on their behalf for the purposes of Article 3(2) effectively carry out the functions set out in that Article to the satisfaction of their competent authority.

2.   Member States shall
  ,
  at least every two years, monitor all recognised organisations acting on their behalf and provide the other Member States and the Commission with a report on the results of
  these
  monitoring
  activities
  at the latest by 31 March of the year following the year in
  which
  those activities are carried out
  .

3.   
  Recognised
  organisations shall be assessed by the Commission, together with the Member State which submitted the relevant request for recognition, on a regular basis and at least every two years, in order to verify that those recognised organisations are meeting their obligations under this Directive and are fulfilling the criteria set out in Annex I.
  This assessment shall be confined to the activities of the recognised organisations that fall within the scope of this Directive.

In selecting recognised
  organisations for assessment, the Commission shall pay particular attention to safety and pollution prevention performance, to casualty records and to the reports made by Member States pursuant to Article 18.

The assessment may include a visit to regional branches of the
  recognised
  organisation, as well as random inspection of ships, both in service and under construction, for the purpose of auditing the organisation's performance. In such cases the Commission shall, where appropriate, inform the Member State in which the regional branch is located that such a visit will take place. The Commission shall provide the Member States with a report on the results of the assessment.

4.   
  Recognised organisations shall make available to the committee referred to in Article 9(1) on an annual basis the results of their quality system management review.

Article 17

2.   Recognised organisations shall ensure in their contracts with third parties for the issue of statutory certificates or classification certificates to a ship that such issue shall be made conditional on those parties not opposing the access of the Community inspectors on board that ship for the purposes of Article 16(3).

Article 18

In exercising their inspection rights and obligations as port States, Member States shall report to the Commission and to other Member States and inform the flag State concerned if they find that valid statutory certificates have been issued by
  recognised
  organisations acting on behalf of a flag State to a ship which does not fulfil the relevant requirements of the international conventions, or in the event of any failure of a ship carrying a valid classification certificate and relating to items covered by that certificate.

Only cases of ships representing a serious threat to safety and the environment or showing evidence of particularly negligent behaviour on the part of the
  recognised organisation shall be reported for the purposes of this Article.

The recognised organisation concerned shall be advised of the case at the time of the initial inspection so that it can take appropriate follow-up action immediately.

Article 19

1.   Each Member State shall ensure that ships flying its flag are designed, constructed, equipped and maintained in accordance with the rules and regulations relating to hull, machinery and electrical and control installation requirements of a recognised organisation.

2.   A Member State may decide to use rules it considers equivalent to
  the rules and regulations
  of a recognised organisation only on the condition that it immediately notifies them to the Commission in conformity with the procedure provided for by Directive 98/34/EC and to the other Member States and those rules are not objected to by another Member State or the Commission and determined through the procedure referred to in Article 9(2) of this Directive to be not equivalent.

3.   Member States shall cooperate with the recognised organisations they authorise in the development of the rules and/or regulations of those organisations. They shall confer with the recognised organisations with a view to achieving a consistent interpretation of international conventions in accordance with Article 20(1).

Article 20

1.   Recognised organisations shall consult with each other periodically with a view to maintaining equivalence
  and securing the harmonisation
  of their rules and regulations and the implementation thereof. They shall cooperate with each other with a view to achieving consistent interpretation of the international conventions, without prejudice to the powers of flag States. Recognised organisations shall
  , in appropriate cases,
  agree on the
  technical and procedural
  conditions under which they will mutually recognise their respective
  classification
  certificates based on equivalent standards,
  taking the most demanding and rigorous models as their reference and
  taking particularly into account marine equipment bearing the wheelmark in accordance with Council Directive 96/98/EC of 20 December 1996 on marine equipment
   (10).

Recognised organisations shall provide the Commission with periodic reports on fundamental progress in standards and mutual recognition.

2.
     
  The Commission shall, by ... (11), submit a report to the European Parliament and the Council based on an independent study on the level reached in the process of harmonising the rules and regulations and on mutual recognition. In the event of failure by the recognised organisations to fulfil the provisions of Article 20(1), the Commission shall propose to the European Parliament and the Council the appropriate measures.

3.   Recognised organisations shall demonstrate willingness to cooperate with port State control authorities where a ship of their class is concerned, in particular in order to facilitate the rectification of reported deficiencies or other discrepancies.

4.   Recognised organisations shall provide to all Member States' authorities which have granted any of the authorisations provided for in Article 3 and to the Commission all relevant information about their classed fleet, transfers, changes, suspensions and withdrawals of class, irrespective of the flag the ships fly.

Information on transfers, changes, suspensions, and withdrawals of class, including information on all overdue surveys, overdue recommendations, conditions of class, operating conditions or operating restrictions issued against their classed ships — irrespective of the flag the ships fly — shall also be communicated electronically to the common inspection database used by the Member States for the implementation of Directive 2007/.../EC of the European Parliament and the Council of ... [on port state control]
   (12) at the same time as it is recorded within the recognised organisation's own systems and in any case no later than 72 hours after the event that gave rise to the obligation to communicate the information. That information, with the exception of recommendations and conditions of class which are not overdue, shall be published on the website of these recognised organisations.

5.   The recognised organisations shall not issue statutory certificates to a ship, irrespective of its flag, which has been declassed or is changing class for safety reasons, before giving the opportunity to the competent authority of the flag State to give its opinion within a reasonable time
  as to
  whether a full inspection is necessary.

New
  certificates
  for
  the ship can be issued by the receiving organisation only after all overdue surveys have been satisfactorily completed and all overdue recommendations or conditions of class previously issued in respect of the ship have been completed as specified by the transferring organisation.

Before completing
  the
  new
  certificates, the receiving organisation must advise the transferring organisation of
  their
  date of
  issue and, for each overdue survey, overdue recommendation and overdue condition of class,
  confirm
  the action
  taken
  , specifying its starting place and date and the place where, and the date when, it was satisfactorily completed
  .

Recognised organisations shall establish and implement appropriate common requirements concerning cases of transfer of class where special precautions are necessary. Those cases shall as a minimum include the transfer of class of ships of fifteen years of age or over and the transfer from a non-recognised organisation to a recognised organisation.

Recognised organisations shall cooperate with each other in properly implementing this paragraph.
