Malta. In accordance with article 2 of the Act of Accession the

It is the Commission's view that the Merchant Shipping (Port

Malta to implement the directive, are incompatible with the
directive, read in conjunction with the Act of Accession, in so
far as they provide that inspectors who do not fulfil the criteria
in paragraphs 1-4 of Annex VII of the directive are accepted if
they have been employed by the competent authority for port
State control between 19 June 1995 and the date of entry into
