The President of the Sixth Chamber has ordered that the case be

The Act of Accession does not provide for any transitional
measures relating to the application of the directive in respect of
Malta. In accordance with article 2 of the Act of Accession the
provisions of the directive are binding upon Malta from the date
of accession.

(1) OJ C 326, 30.12.2006.

It is the Commission's view that the Merchant Shipping (Port
State Control) Regulations, 2004 (the ‘Regulations’), adopted by
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
force of the Regulations — in other words, 1 May 2004.
