Where the aid is granted in the maritime transport sector, it
may reach an intensity of 100 %, regardless of whether the
training project concerns specific or general training, provided
that the trainee is not an active member of the crew but super-
numerary on board, and the training is carried out on board
ships entered on Community registers

Date of implementation: June 2001

Objective of aid: The scheme applies both to specific training
and to general training.
‘General’ training is training which is
not applicable only or principally to the employee's present or
future position in the assisted firm but which provides qualifi-
cations that are largely transferable to other firms or fields of
work and thereby substantially improves the employability of
the employee.

The following are considered general training:

— inter-enterprise training,

i.e. training organised jointly by
independent enterprises (under the Community
different
rules defining SMEs) or in which employees of different
enterprises may take part;

— training within a single firm if the matter covered is within
the profiles set out in the tabulation of qualifications and
job descriptions maintained by the Region, or within
profiles whose insertion has been applied for
