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.

Position of the European Parliament adopted at second reading on 25 April 2007 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council on common rules in the field of civil aviation security and repealing Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002

(Text with EEA relevance)

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.

(2)

It is desirable, in the interests of civil aviation security generally, to provide the basis for a common interpretation of Annex 17 to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation of 7 December 1944.

(3)

Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2002 establishing common rules in the field of civil aviation security (3) was adopted as a result of the events of 11 September 2001 in the United States.

(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.

(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.

(6)

This Regulation should apply to airports serving civil aviation located in the territory of a Member State, to operators providing services at such airports and to entities providing goods and/or services to or through such airports.

(7)

Without prejudice to the Convention on offences and certain other acts committed on board aircraft, Tokyo, 1963, the Convention for the suppression of unlawful seizure of aircraft, The Hague, 1970 and the Convention for the suppression of unlawful acts against the safety of civil aviation, Montreal, 1971, this Regulation should also cover security measures that apply on board an aircraft, or during a flight, of Community air carriers.

(8)

Each Member State may decide for itself whether to deploy in-flight security officers on aircraft registered in that Member State and on aircraft of air carriers licensed by that Member State.

(9)

The various types of civil aviation do not necessarily present the same level of threat. In setting common basic standards on aviation security, the size of the aircraft, the nature of the operation and/or the frequency of operations at airports should be taken into account with a view to permitting the grant of derogations.

(10)

Member States should also be allowed, on the basis of a risk assessment, to apply more stringent measures than those laid down in this Regulation. A distinction should be drawn, however, between common basic standards and more stringent measures and a similar distinction should be drawn as regards their funding.

(11)

Third countries may require the application of measures that differ from those laid down in this Regulation in respect of flights from an airport in a Member State to, or over, that third country. However, without prejudice to any bilateral agreements to which the Community is a party, it should be possible for the Commission to examine the measures required by the third country and to decide whether a Member State, operator or other entity concerned may continue to apply the measures required .

(12)

Even though, within a single Member State, there may be two or more bodies or entities involved in aviation security, each Member State should designate a single authority responsible for the coordination and monitoring of the implementation of security standards .

(13)

In order to define responsibilities for the implementation of the common basic standards and to describe what measures are required by operators and other entities for this purpose, each Member State should draw up a national civil aviation security programme. Furthermore, each airport operator, air carrier and entity applying aviation security standards should draw up, apply and maintain a security programme in order to comply both with this Regulation and with whichever national civil aviation security programme is applicable.

(14)

In order to monitor compliance with this Regulation and with the national civil aviation security programme, each Member State should draw up and ensure the implementation of a national programme to check the level of civil aviation security.

(15)

In order to monitor the application by Member States of this Regulation, and also to make recommendations to improve aviation security, the Commission should conduct inspections, including unannounced inspections.

(16)

In the context of the forthcoming extension of its competences, the European Aviation Safety Agency should gradually become involved in the monitoring of compliance with common provisions on civil aviation security.

(17)

Implementing acts setting out common measures and procedures for the implementation of the common basic standards and containing sensitive security information, together with Commission inspection reports and answers of appropriate authorities, should be regarded as ‘EU classified information’ within the meaning of Commission Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom of 29 November 2001 amending its internal rules of procedure (4). Those items should not be published; they should only be made available to those operators and entities with a legitimate interest.

(18)

The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation 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 (5).

(19)

In particular, power should be conferred on the Commission to establish the conditions under which the measures referred to in Articles 4(5) and 13(2) are to be adopted. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, or to supplement it by the addition of 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.

(20)

For the purpose of allowing transfer passengers and transfer baggage to be exempted from screening when arriving on a flight from a third country, which is known as the concept of ‘one-stop security’, as well as for allowing passengers arriving on such a flight to mix with screened departing passengers, it is appropriate to encourage the conclusion of agreements between the Community and third countries, recognising that the security standards applied in the third country are equivalent to Community standards.

(21)

The goal of ‘one-stop security’ for all flights within the European Union should be advanced.

(22)

This Regulation is without prejudice to the application of rules on aviation safety, including those relating to the transport of dangerous goods.

(23)

Penalties should be provided for infringements of the provisions of this Regulation. Those penalties should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.

(24)

The Ministerial Statement on Gibraltar Airport, agreed in Cordoba on 18 September 2006 during the first Ministerial meeting of the Forum of Dialogue on Gibraltar, will replace the Joint Declaration on Gibraltar Airport made in London on 2 December 1987, and full compliance with it will be deemed to constitute compliance with the 1987 Declaration.

(25)

Consideration should be given to the setting up of a solidarity mechanism that could offer assistance following terrorist acts that have a major impact in the transport field.

(26)

Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely to safeguard civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference and to provide a basis for a common interpretation of Annex 17 to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of this Regulation, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

ANNEX

COMMON BASIC STANDARDS FOR SAFEGUARDING CIVIL AVIATION AGAINST ACTS OF UNLAWFUL INTERFERENCE (ARTICLE 4)

1.   AIRPORT SECURITY

1.1.   Airport planning requirements

1.

When designing and constructing new airport facilities or altering existing airport facilities, requirements for the implementation of the common basic standards set out in this Annex and its implementing acts shall be fully taken into account.

2.

At airports the following areas shall be established:

(a)

landside;

(b)

airside;

(c)

security restricted areas; and

(d)

critical parts of security restricted areas.

1.2.   Access control

1.

Access to airside shall be restricted in order to prevent unauthorised persons and vehicles from entering these areas.

Persons and vehicles may be granted access to airside and security restricted areas only if they fulfil the required security conditions.

4.

All staff , including flight crew members, shall have successfully completed a background check before an airport or crew identification card is issued to them authorising unescorted access to security restricted areas. Identification cards may be recognised by an appropriate authority other than that which issued the identification card concerned.

1.3.   Screening of persons other than passengers and items carried

1.

Persons other than passengers, together with items carried, shall be screened on a continuous random basis upon entering security restricted areas in order to prevent prohibited articles from being introduced into these areas.

1.5.   Surveillance, patrols and other physical controls

There shall be surveillance, patrols and other physical controls in the security restricted areas and all adjacent areas with public access, in order to identify suspicious behaviour of persons, to identify vulnerabilities which could be exploited to carry out an act of unlawful interference and to deter persons from such acts.

2.   DEMARCATED AREAS OF AIRPORTS

Aircraft parked in demarcated areas of airports to which alternative measures referred to in Article 4(5) apply, shall be separated from aircraft to which these common basic standards apply in full, in order to ensure that security standards applied to aircraft, passengers, baggage and cargo of the latter are not compromised.

3.   AIRCRAFT SECURITY

1.

If passengers disembark from an aircraft, the aircraft shall be subjected to an aircraft security check before departure in order to ensure that no prohibited articles are present on board. An aircraft may be exempted from the check if it arrives from a Member State, unless the Commission or that Member State has provided information suggesting that the passengers and their cabin baggage cannot be considered as having been screened in accordance with the common basic standards referred to in Article 4 .

2.

Passengers who are disembarked from an aircraft at a recognised airport due to technical issues and subsequently held in a secure zone at that airport should not be subject to re-screening.

3.

Every aircraft shall be protected from unauthorised interference. The presence of aircraft in the critical parts of the security restricted area shall be deemed to be sufficient protection.

P6_TC1-COD(2005)0127

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 criminal measures aimed at ensuring the enforcement of intellectual property rights

(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.

(2)

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.

(4)

The Commission also adopted, in November 2004, an Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Strategy towards third countries.

(5)

Directive 2004/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the enforcement of intellectual property rights (4) lays down measures, procedures and civil and administrative remedies. A sufficiently dissuasive set of penalties applicable throughout the Community is needed to make the provisions laid down in that Directive complete. Certain criminal provisions need to be harmonised so that counterfeiting and piracy in the internal market can be combated effectively. The Community legislature has the power to take the criminal-law measures that are necessary to guarantee the full effectiveness of the rules it lays down on the protection of intellectual property , as defined by this Directive, other than patents .

(6)

Building on the Commission Communication on a customs response to counterfeiting and piracy adopted in October 2005, the Council adopted a Resolution on 13 March 2006, in which it underlined that the Lisbon Strategy objectives ‘can only be achieved through a well-functioning internal market with adequate measures to encourage investment in the knowledge-based economy’ and recognised‘the threat posed by the serious growth in counterfeiting and piracy to the Union's knowledge-based economy and in particular to health and safety (...)’.

(7)

In its resolution of 7 September 2006 on counterfeiting of medicinal products, the European Parliament took the view that the European Community should equip itself as a matter of urgency with the means to combat effectively illicit practices in the area of piracy and the counterfeiting of medicines.

(8)

The level of sentencing for natural and legal persons who have committed such offences must be harmonised. In particular, the rules on prison sentences, fines and confiscation must be harmonised.

(9)

In respect of persons accused of committing the offences laid down in this Directive, and in establishing their intention to infringe the intellectual property right in question, account should be taken of the extent to which the accused had, in advance of the infringement, substantial grounds to plead that the intellectual property right in question was invalid.

(10)

Provisions must be laid down to facilitate criminal investigations. The Member States must ensure the cooperation of the holders of intellectual property rights with the joint investigation teams in accordance with the arrangements provided for in Council Framework Decision 2002/465/JHA of 13 June 2002 on joint investigation teams (5). The involvement of the holders of intellectual property rights concerned should constitute a supporting role that will not interfere with the neutrality of the state investigations .

(11)

To facilitate investigations or criminal proceedings concerning intellectual property offences, these may not be dependent on a report or accusation made by a person subjected to the offence.

(12)

The rights enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union should be fully respected when criminal acts and penalties are defined, during investigations and in the course of judicial proceedings.

(13)

This Directive does not affect specific liability systems such as laid down for Internet service providers by Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce , in the Internal Market  (6) and by Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society (7).

(14)

Since the objective of this Directive cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States acting alone and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

(15)

This Directive respects fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. In particular, this Directive seeks to ensure full respect for intellectual property, in accordance with Article 17(2) of the Charter.

(16)

It is necessary to ensure adequate protection of intellectual property rights in the audiovisual sector, as indicated by Directive 98/84/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November 1998 on the legal protection of services based on, or consisting of, conditional access (8),

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Objective and scope

This Directive lays down the criminal measures necessary to ensure the enforcement of intellectual property rights , as defined below, in the context of counterfeiting and piracy .

Those measures shall apply to intellectual property rights , other than patents, provided for in Community legislation.

Industrial property rights under a patent shall be excluded from the provisions of this Directive.

In particular, this Directive does not apply to any infringement of an intellectual property right related to:

patent rights, utility models and plant variety rights, including rights derived from supplementary protection certificates;

parallel imports of original goods from a third country which have been allowed by the rightholder.

Article 2

Definitions

Directive:

(a)

‘intellectual property rights’ means one or more of the following rights:

copyright,

rights related to copyright,

the sui generis right of a database maker,

rights of the creator of the topographies of a semiconductor product,

trademark rights, in so far as extending to them the protection of criminal law is not inimical to free market rules and research activities,

design rights,

P6_TC1-COD(2005)0239

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.

(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.

(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 asthe 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.

(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.

(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.

(13)

Plans for accommodating ships in need of assistance should describe precisely the decision-making chain with regard to alerting and dealing with the situations in question. The authorities concerned and their remits should be clearly described, as should the means of communication between the parties involved. The applicable procedures should ensure that decisions can be taken quickly on the basis of specific maritime expertise in handling incidents where serious harmful consequences can be expected .

(14)

When drawing up the plans the Member States should also make an inventory of potential places of refuge on the coast so as to allow the competent authority, in the event of an accident or incident at sea, to identify clearly and quickly the most suitable areas for accommodating ships in distress. Such an inventory should contain all the relevant information in particular on the physical, environmental and economic characteristics of the sites under consideration and the equipment and installations available to make it easier to accommodate ships in distress or deal with the consequences of an accident or pollution.

(15)

It is important for the list of competent authorities responsible for deciding whether to accommodate a ship in a place of refuge, and the list of authorities responsible for receiving and handling alerts, to be published appropriately. The Member States should give the Commission an inventory of potential places of refuge. It may also prove useful for the parties involved in a maritime assistance operation and the authorities of neighbouring Member States likely to be affected by an emergency at sea to have access to appropriate information on the plans and places of refuge. It is important that the parties possessing such information guarantee its confidentiality.

(16)

The implementation of a network of marine protected areas should be accelerated, and in addition the Member States should, under the coordination of the Commission, set up seasonal marine environmental and human resources index maps.

(17)

The absence of financial guarantees or insurance should not exonerate a Member State from its obligation to assist a ship in distress and to accommodate it in a place of refuge if by so doing it can reduce the risks to the crew and the environment. Though the competent authorities may verify whether the ship is covered by insurance or some other financial guarantee permitting appropriate compensation for costs and damage associated with its accommodation in a place of refuge , the act of requesting this information should not delay the rescue operation .

(18)

Ports which accommodate a ship in distress must be able to rely on prompt compensation in respect of costs and any damage associated with the operation. 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.

(19)

In order to obtain the full cooperation and trust of ships' masters and crew, it needs to be ensured that those masters and crew can rely on good and fair treatment from the competent authorities of the Member State which is required to accommodate their ship in distress. To that end, it is desirable that Member States apply the IMO guidelines on fair treatment of seafarers in the event of a maritime accident.

(20)

Surveillance of the Union's coasts and monitoring of ships entering its territorial waters are a cornerstone of European maritime safety. To deny impunity to ships and ensure that any place of refuge receives compensation in the event of an accident, it is essential to intensify coastal checks and ensure that no ship enters Union territorial waters if it does not have a financial guarantee within the meaning of Directive 2007/.../EC [on the civil liability and financial guarantees of shipowners] .

(21)

The specific function of the vessel traffic monitoring and ship's routing measures is to allow Member States to obtain a true knowledge of the ships using the waters under their jurisdiction and thus enable them to take more effective action against potential risks if necessary. Sharing the information gathered helps to improve its quality and makes it easier to process.

(22)

In accordance with Directive 2002/59/EC the Member States and the Commission have made substantial progress towards harmonising electronic data exchange, in particular as regards the transport of dangerous or polluting goods. The Community information exchange system SafeSeaNet, in development since 2002, should now be established as the reference network at Community level. It is important to ensure that the SafeSeaNet system does not result in increased administrative or cost burdens for industry, that there is harmonisation with international rules and that confidentiality in relation to any possible commercial implications is taken into account.

(23)

The progress made in the new technologies and in particular in their space applications, such as satellite-based ship monitoring systems, imaging systems or Galileo, now makes it possible to extend traffic monitoring further offshore and thereby to ensure better coverage of European waters. Furthermore, the IMO has amended the SOLAS Convention to take account of developments in maritime safety and security and the maritime environment with a view to developing systems for global long-range identification and tracking of ships (LRIT). In accordance with the architecture approved by the IMO, which provides for the possibility of setting up regional LRIT Data centres, and taking into account the experience gained from the SafeSeaNet system, a LRIT European Data Centre should be set up for the collection and management of LRIT information. In order to retrieve LRIT data, Member States will need to be connected to the LRIT European Data Centre .

(24)

The IMO requirements for the fitting of ships with a LRIT system are applicable only to ships engaged in international voyages. However, since ships in domestic voyages between ports of a Member State may also pose a risk for maritime security, safety and the environment, such ships should also be fitted with LRIT, in accordance with a timetable to be proposed in due time by the Commission.

(25)

In order to guarantee the best possible use, harmonised at Community level, of the information gathered under this Directive or other instruments concerning maritime safety, the Commission should be able, if necessary, to process and use these data and disseminate them to the authorities designated by the Member States.

(26)

Information gathered pursuant to this Directive may only be disseminated and used to prevent situations which threaten the safety of human life at sea and the protection of the marine environment; it is therefore desirable that the Commission, in cooperation with the European Network and Information Security Agency, investigate how to tackle the network and information security problems resulting from the application of this Directive.

(27)

In this context, the development of the ‘Equasis’ system has shown how important it is to encourage a ‘safe seas’ culture, especially in maritime transport operators. The Commission should be able to contribute to the dissemination, particularly via this system, of any information of maritime interest gathered by the various public or private bodies involved in maritime safety.

(28)

Regulation (EC) No 2099/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 November 2002 establishing a Committee on Safe Seas and the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (COSS) (5) centralises the tasks of the committees set up under the relevant Community legislation on maritime safety, prevention of pollution from ships and protection of living and working conditions on board. The existing committee should therefore be replaced by COSS.

(29)

The amendments to the international instruments referred to should also be taken into account.

(30)

The European Maritime Safety Agency established by Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2002  (6) should provide the necessary support to ensure the convergent and effective implementation of this Directive.

(31)

Directive 2002/59/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,

Investigation of accidents ***I

European Parliament legislative resolution of 25 April 2007 on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the fundamental principles governing the investigation of accidents in the maritime transport sector and amending Directives 1999/35/EC and 2002/59/EC (COM(2005)0590 — C6-0056/2006 — 2005/0240(COD))

(Codecision procedure: first reading)

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission proposal to the European Parliament and the Council (COM(2005)0590) (1),

having regard to Article 251(2) and Article 80(2) of the EC Treaty, pursuant to which the Commission submitted the proposal to Parliament (C6-0056/2006),

having regard to Rule 51 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Transport and Tourism (A6-0079/2007);

1.

Approves the Commission proposal as amended;

2.

Calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it intends to amend the proposal substantially or replace it with another text;

3.

Instructs its President to forward its position to the Council and Commission.

P6_TC1-COD(2005)0240

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 establishing the fundamental principles governing the investigation of accidents in the maritime transport sector and amending Directives 1999/35/EC and 2002/59/EC

(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)

A high general level of safety should be maintained in maritime transport in Europe and every effort should be made to reduce the number of marine casualties and incidents.

(2)

The expeditious holding of technical investigations into marine casualties improves maritime safety as it helps to prevent the recurrence of such casualties resulting in loss of life, loss of ships and pollution of the marine environment.

(3)

The European Parliament, in its resolution (4) on improving safety at sea, has urged the Commission to present a proposal for a directive on investigating shipping accidents.

(4)

Article 2 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982 (Unclos) (5) establishes the right of coastal States to investigate the cause of any marine casualty occurring within their territorial seas which might pose a risk to life or to the environment, involve the coastal State's search and rescue authorities, or otherwise affect the coastal State.

(5)

Article 94 of Unclos establishes that flag States shall cause an inquiry to be held, by or before a suitably qualified person or persons, into certain casualties or incidents of navigation on the high seas.

(6)

The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS regulation I/21), the International Convention of Load Lines, 1966 and the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 lay down the responsibilities of flag States to conduct casualty investigations and to supply the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) with relevant findings.

(7)

The [draft] Code for the implementation of Mandatory IMO Instruments (6) recalls the obligation of flag States to ensure that marine safety investigations are conducted by suitably qualified investigators, competent in matters relating to marine casualties and incidents. The Code further requires flag States to be prepared to provide qualified investigators for that purpose, irrespective of the location of the casualty or incident.

(8)

Account should be taken of the Code for the Investigation of Marine Casualties and Incidents adopted in November 1997 by IMO Assembly Resolution A.849, which provides for implementation of a common approach to the safety investigation of marine casualties and incidents and for cooperation between States in identifying the contributing factors leading to marine casualties and incidents. Account should also be taken of Circular 953 of the IMO Maritime Safety Committee (MSC), which provides updated definitions of terms used in the Code, and IMO Resolutions A.861(20) and MSC.163(78), which provide a definition of ‘voyage data recorders’.

(9)

Council Directive 1999/35/EC of 29 April 1999 on a system of mandatory surveys for the safe operation of regular ro-ro ferry and high-speed passenger craft services (7) requires Member States to define, in the framework of their respective internal legal systems, a legal status that will enable them and any other substantially interested Member State to participate, to cooperate in, or where provided for under the Code for the investigation of marine casualties, to conduct any marine casualty or incident investigation involving a ro-ro ferry or high-speed passenger craft.

(10)

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  (8) requires Member States to comply with the IMO Code for the Investigation of Marine Casualties and Incidents and ensure that the findings of the accident investigations are published as soon as possible after its conclusion.

(11)

Investigation of casualties and incidents involving seagoing vessels, or other vessels in port or other restricted maritime areas, should be carried out by, or under the control of, an independent body or entity endowed with permanent decision-making powers, in order to avoid any conflict of interest.

(12)

Member States should ensure that their internal legal systems enable them and any other substantially interested Member States to participate or cooperate in, or conduct, accident investigations on the basis of the provisions of the IMO Code for the investigation of marine casualties.

(13)

Under SOLAS regulation V/20, passenger ships and ships other than passenger ships of 3 000 gross tonnage and upwards constructed on or after 1 July 2002 must carry voyage data recorders (VDRs) to assist in accident investigations. Given its importance in the formulation of a policy to prevent shipping accidents, such equipment should be systematically required on board ships making national or international voyages which call at Community ports.

(14)

The data provided by a VDR system, as well as by other electronic devices, can be used both retrospectively after a marine casualty or incident to investigate its causes and preventively to gain experience of the circumstances capable of leading to such events. Member States should ensure that such data, when available, is properly used for both purposes.

(15)

Distress alerts from a ship or information from any source that a ship is, or persons on or from a ship are imperilled or that, as a result of an event in connection with the operation of a ship, there is a serious potential risk of damage to the persons, to the ship's structure or the environment should be investigated or otherwise examined.

(16)

Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2002  (9) requires the European Maritime Safety Agency (hereinafter: ‘the Agency’) to work with the Member States to develop technical solutions and provide technical assistance related to the implementation of Community legislation. In the field of accident investigation, the Agency has the specific task of facilitating cooperation between the Member States and the Commission in the development, with due regard to the different legal systems in the Member States, of a common methodology for investigating maritime accidents according to agreed international principles.

(17)

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002, the Agency must facilitate cooperation in the provision of support given by the Member States in investigations into serious maritime accidents, and in analysing existing accident investigation reports. The Agency must also, in the light of the conclusions drawn from the analyses, incorporate into the joint methodology any elements arising therefrom which may be of use in the prevention of fresh disasters and the improvement of maritime safety in the EU.

(18)

The IMO guidelines on the fair treatment of seafarers in the event of a maritime accident reduce the risk of captains and crews attracting criminal sanctions. They could give them more confidence in investigation methods, and should therefore be used by the Member States.

(19)

The safety recommendations resulting from a casualty or incident safety investigation should be duly taken into account by the Member States and the Community .

(20)

Since the aim of the technical investigation is the prevention of marine casualties and incidents in the future, the conclusions and the safety recommendations should not be used to determine liability or apportion blame.

(21)

Since the objective of this Directive, namely to improve marine safety in the Community and thereby reduce the risk of future marine casualties, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale or the effects of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve this objective.

(22)

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 (10),

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

ANNEX I

SAFETY INVESTIGATION REPORT FORMAT AND CONTENT

Foreword

This identifies the sole objective of the safety investigation, that a safety recommendation shall in no case create a presumption of liability or blame, and that the report has not been written, in terms of content and style, with the intention of it being used in legal proceedings.

(The report should make no reference to witness evidence nor link anyone who is referred to in the report to a person who has given evidence during the course of the investigation.)

1.   Summary

This part outlines the basic facts of the marine casualty or incident: what, when, where and how it happened; and states whether any deaths, injuries, damage to the ship, cargo, third parties or environment occurred as a result.

2.   Factual information

This part includes a number of discrete sections, providing sufficient information that the investigating body interprets to be factual, from which to fully populate the relevant fields of the European database for marine casualties, substantiate the analysis and ease understanding.

These sections include, at least, the following information:

2.1.

Ship particulars

Ship flag/register,

Ship identification,

Ship main characteristics,

Ownership and management,

Construction details,

Minimum safe manning,

Authorised cargo.

2.2.

Voyage particulars

Ports of call,

Type of voyage,

Cargo information,

Manning.

2.3.

Marine casualty or incident information

Type of marine casualty or incident,

Date and time,

Position and location of the marine casualty or incident,

External and internal environment,

Ship operation and voyage segment,

Place on board,

Human factors data,

Consequences (to people, ship, cargo, environment, other).

2.4.

Shore authority involvement and emergency response

Who was involved,

Means used,

Speed of response,

Actions taken,

Results achieved.

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,

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.

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.

7.   Appendices

When appropriate, the following non-exhaustive list of information is attached to the report in paper and/or electronic form:

photographs, moving images, audio recordings, charts, drawings,

applicable standards,

technical terms and abbreviations used,

special safety studies,

miscellaneous information.

Liability of carriers of passengers by boat in the event of accidents ***I

European Parliament legislative resolution of 25 April 2007 on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the liability of carriers of passengers by sea and inland waterways in the event of accidents (COM(2005)0592 — C6-0057/2006 — 2005/0241(COD))

(Codecision procedure: first reading)

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission proposal to the European Parliament and the Council (COM(2005)0592) (1),

having regard to Article 251(2) and Article 80(2) of the EC Treaty, pursuant to which the Commission submitted the proposal to Parliament (C6-0057/2006),

having regard to Rule 51 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Transport and Tourism and the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs (A6-0063/2007);

1.

Approves the Commission proposal as amended;

2.

Calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it intends to amend the proposal substantially or replace it with another text;

3.

Instructs its President to forward its position to the Council and Commission.

P6_TC1-COD(2005)0241

Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 25 April 2007 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No .../2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the liability of carriers of passengers by sea in the event of accidents

(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 Articles 71(1) and 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)

Within the framework of the common transport policy, further measures must be adopted to enhance safety in maritime and inland waterway transport. Those measures should include liability rules for damage caused to passengers, since it is important to ensure a proper level of compensation for passengers involved in maritime accidents .

(2)

The Protocol of 2002 to the Athens Convention relating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea, 1974 was adopted on 1 November 2002 under the auspices of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). [The Community has acceded to this Protocol (4).]

(3)

The Athens Convention relating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea, 1974, as amended by its protocol of 2002 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Athens Convention 2002’) is applicable to international transport only. In the internal market for maritime transport services, the distinction between national and international transport has been eliminated and it is therefore appropriate to have the same level and nature of liability in both international and national transport within the Community .

(4)

The insurance arrangements required under the Athens Convention 2002 must be appropriate to the financial means of shipowners and insurance companies. Shipowners must be in a position to manage their insurance arrangements in an economically acceptable way and, particularly in the case of small shipping companies operating national transport services, account must be taken of the seasonal nature of their operations. The transitional period which is provided for for the application of this Regulation must be sufficiently long to enable the compulsory insurance provided for by the Athens Convention 2002 to be arranged without affecting existing insurance schemes.

(5)

It is appropriate to oblige the carrier to make advance payment in the event of the death of or personal injury to a passenger , whereby advance payment does not constitute recognition of liability .

(6)

Appropriate , full and comprehensible information on new rights being conferred on passengers should be provided to those passengers prior to their journey.

(7)

Any amendment to the Athens Convention 2002 will be incorporated into Community legislation, unless such amendment is excluded following the procedure under Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2099/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 November 2002 establishing a Committee on Safe Seas and the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (COSS) and amending the Regulations on maritime safety and the prevention of pollution from ships (5).

(8)

The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), established by Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), should assist the Commission in preparing and drafting a report on the functioning of the new rules and in proposing amendments to the Athens Convention 2002.

(9)

Owing to the need for greater consultation among the Member States on matters of maritime safety, it is vital to reassess EMSA's competences and possibly consider extending its powers.

(10)

The national authorities, particularly the port authorities, play a fundamental and vital role in identifying and managing the various risks in relation to maritime safety.

(11)

Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the creation of a single set of rules governing the rights of carriers and their passengers in the event of an accident, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the need to ensure identical limits of liability in all Member States, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Subject-matter

This Regulation lays down a Community regime of uniform liability for the carriage of passengers by sea .

To that end, this Regulation incorporates the relevant provisions of the Athens Convention relating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea, 1974, as amended by its protocol of 2002 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Athens Convention 2002’) and extends the application of those provisions to carriage by sea within a single Member State .

Article 2

Scope

sea, if

(a)

the ship is flying the flag of a Member State;

(b)

the contract of carriage has been made in a Member State; or

(c)

the place of departure or destination, according to the contract of carriage, is in a Member State.

Article 3

Liability of the carrier

The liability of a carrier and of a performing carrier in respect of passengers and their luggage shall be governed by all provisions of the Athens Convention 2002 relevant to such liability , including the IMO reservation and guidelines for implementation of the Athens Convention 2002 adopted by the Legal Committee of the IMO on 19 October 2006 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the IMO reservation 2006’). The Athens Convention 2002 and the IMO reservation 2006 are annexed to this Regulation .

The terms ‘carrier’ and ‘performing carrier’ shall be understood in accordance with the definitions set out in Article 1(1)(a) and (b) of the Athens Convention 2002.

Article 4

Limits of liability

Article 7(2) of the Athens Convention 2002 is not applicable to the carriage of passengers falling within the scope of this Regulation unless the European Parliament and the Council, acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty, amend this Regulation to this effect .

Article 19 of the Athens Convention 2002 is not applicable to the carriage of passengers falling within the scope of this Regulation.

In the event of loss of or damage to mobility equipment or medical equipment belonging to a passenger with reduced mobility, the compensation may be equal to, but shall not exceed, the replacement value of the equipment.

Article 5

Advance payment

In the event of the death of or personal injury to a passenger resulting from a shipping incident or accident the carrier or the performing carrier the carrier shall make an advance payment sufficient to cover immediate economic needs, within 15 days from the date of the identification of the person entitled to damages. In the event of death or the absolute and permanent invalidity of a passenger, or injuries to 75% or more of the passenger's body considered clinically very serious, this payment shall not be less than EUR 21 000.

An advance payment shall not constitute recognition of liability, may be offset against any later sums paid pursuant to this Regulation and is not refundable except where the person who received the advance payment was not the person entitled to compensation or the carrier is deemed not at fault.

Payment or receipt, as appropriate, of an advance payment shall entitle the carrier, the performing carrier or the passenger to initiate judicial proceedings to establish liability and fault.

Article 6

Information to passengers

The carrier, the performing carrier and/or the tour operator shall provide passengers, prior to their departure, with appropriate, full and comprehensible information regarding their rights under this Regulation, and in particular with information on the limits of compensation for death, personal injury or loss of and damage to luggage, on their right of direct action against the insurer or the person providing financial security and on their entitlement to an advance payment.

This information shall be provided in an appropriate , full and comprehensible format and, in the case of information provided by tour operators, in accordance with Article 4 of Council Directive 90/314/EEC of 13 June 1990 on package travel, package holidays and package tours (7).

Article 7

Report and amendments to the Athens Convention 2002

No later than three years after the entry into force of this Regulation, the Commission shall draw up a report on its application, which shall, inter alia, take into account economic developments and developments in international fora.

That report may be accompanied by a proposal for amendment to this Regulation, or by a proposal for a submission to be made by the European Community before the relevant international fora.

In so doing, the Commission shall be assisted by the Committee on Safe Seas and the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (COSS), established by Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2099/2002.

Amendments to the Athens Convention 2002 may be excluded from the scope of this Regulation, pursuant to Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2099/2002.

ARTICLE 3

Liability of the carrier

1. For the loss suffered as a result of the death of or personal injury to a passenger caused by a shipping incident, the carrier shall be liable to the extent that such loss in respect of that passenger on each distinct occasion does not exceed 250 000 units of account, unless the carrier proves that the incident:

(a)

resulted from an act of war, hostilities, civil war, insurrection or a natural phenomenon of an exceptional, inevitable and irresistible character; or

(b)

was wholly caused by an act or omission done with the intent to cause the incident by a third party.

If and to the extent that the loss exceeds the above limit, the carrier shall be further liable unless the carrier proves that the incident which caused the loss occurred without the fault or neglect of the carrier.

2. For the loss suffered as a result of the death of or personal injury to a passenger not caused by a shipping incident, the carrier shall be liable if the incident which caused the loss was due to the fault or neglect of the carrier. The burden of proving fault or neglect shall lie with the claimant.

3. For the loss suffered as a result of the loss of or damage to cabin luggage, the carrier shall be liable if the incident which caused the loss was due to the fault or neglect of the carrier. The fault or neglect of the carrier shall be presumed for loss caused by a shipping incident.

4. For the loss suffered as a result of the loss of or damage to luggage other than cabin luggage, the carrier shall be liable unless the carrier proves that the incident which caused the loss occurred without the fault or neglect of the carrier.

(d)

‘loss’ shall not include punitive or exemplary damages.

6. The liability of the carrier under this Article only relates to loss arising from incidents that occurred in the course of the carriage. The burden of proving that the incident which caused the loss occurred in the course of the carriage, and the extent of the loss, shall lie with the claimant.

7. Nothing in this Convention shall prejudice any right of recourse of the carrier against any third party, or the defence of contributory negligence under Article 6 of this Convention. Nothing in this Article shall prejudice any right of limitation under Articles 7 or 8 of this Convention.

8. Presumptions of fault or neglect of a party or the allocation of the burden of proof to a party shall not prevent evidence in favour of that party from being considered.

ARTICLE 4

Performing carrier

1. If the performance of the carriage or part thereof has been entrusted to a performing carrier, the carrier shall nevertheless remain liable for the entire carriage according to the provisions of this Convention. In addition, the performing carrier shall be subject and entitled to the provisions of this Convention for the part of the carriage performed by him.

2. The carrier shall, in relation to the carriage performed by the performing carrier, be liable for the acts and omissions of the performing carrier and of his servants and agents acting within the scope of their employment.

5. Nothing in this Article shall prejudice any right of recourse as between the carrier and the performing carrier.

ARTICLE 4bis

Compulsory insurance

1. When passengers are carried on board a ship registered in a State Party that is licensed to carry more than 12 passengers, and this Convention applies, any carrier who actually performs the whole or a part of the carriage shall maintain insurance or other financial security, such as the guarantee of a bank or similar financial institution, to cover liability under this Convention in respect of the death of and personal injury to passengers. The limit of the compulsory insurance or other financial security shall not be less than 250 000 units of account per passenger on each distinct occasion.

2. A certificate attesting that insurance or other financial security is in force in accordance with the provisions of this Convention shall be issued to each ship after the appropriate authority of a State Party has determined that the requirements of paragraph 1 have been complied with. With respect to a ship registered in a State Party, such certificate shall be issued or certified by the appropriate authority of the State of the ship's registry; with respect to a ship not registered in a State Party it may be issued or certified by the appropriate authority of any State Party. This certificate shall be in the form of the model set out in the annex to this Convention and shall contain the following particulars:

(a)

name of ship, distinctive number or letters and port of registry;

(b)

name and principal place of business of the carrier who actually performs the whole or a part of the carriage;

(c)

IMO ship identification number;

(d)

type and duration of security;

(e)

name and principal place of business of insurer or other person providing financial security and, where appropriate, place of business where the insurance or other financial security is established; and

(f)

period of validity of the certificate, which shall not be longer than the period of validity of the insurance or other financial security.

(a)

A State Party may authorise an institution or an organisation recognised by it to issue the certificate. Such institution or organization shall inform that State of the issue of each certificate. In all cases, the State Party shall fully guarantee the completeness and accuracy of the certificate so issued, and shall undertake to ensure the necessary arrangements to satisfy this obligation.

(b)

A State Party shall notify the Secretary-General of:

(i)

the specific responsibilities and conditions of the authority delegated to an institution or organization recognised by it;

(ii)

the withdrawal of such authority; and

(iii)

the date from which such authority or withdrawal of such authority takes effect.

An authority delegated shall not take effect prior to three months from the date from which notification to that effect was given to the Secretary-General.

(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. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to any modification which results in the insurance or other financial security no longer satisfying the requirements of this Article.

7. The State of the ship's registry shall, subject to the provisions of this Article, determine the conditions of issue and validity of the certificate.

8. Nothing in this Convention shall be construed as preventing a State Party from relying on information obtained from other States or the Organization or other international organizations relating to the financial standing of providers of insurance or other financial security for the purposes of this Convention. 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.

2. The liability of the carrier for the loss of or damage to vehicles including all luggage carried in or on the vehicle shall in no case exceed 12 700 units of account per vehicle, per carriage.

3. The liability of the carrier for the loss of or damage to luggage other than that mentioned in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall in no case exceed 3 375 units of account per passenger, per carriage.

4. The carrier and the passenger may agree that the liability of the carrier shall be subject to a deductible not exceeding 330 units of account in the case of damage to a vehicle and not exceeding 149 units of account per passenger in the case of loss of or damage to other luggage, such sum to be deducted from the loss or damage.

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.

ARTICLE 14

(c)

in the case of loss of or damage to luggage, from the date of disembarkation or from the date when disembarkation should have taken place, whichever is later.

A period of five years beginning with the date of disembarkation of the passenger or from the date when disembarkation should have taken place, whichever is later; or, if earlier

where the judgment was obtained by fraud; or

(b)

where the defendant was not given reasonable notice and a fair opportunity to present his or her case.

2. A judgment recognised under paragraph 1 shall be enforceable in each State Party as soon as the formalities required in that State have been complied with. The formalities shall not permit the merits of the case to be re-opened.

ARTICLE 18

Invalidity of contractual provisions

Any contractual provision concluded before the occurrence of the incident which has caused the death of or personal injury to a passenger or the loss of or damage to the passenger's luggage, purporting to relieve any person liable under this Convention of liability towards the passenger or to prescribe a lower limit of liability than that fixed in this Convention except as provided in Article 8, paragraph 4, and any such provision purporting to shift the burden of proof which rests on the carrier or performing carrier, or having the effect of restricting the options specified in Article 17, paragraphs 1 or 2, shall be null and void, but the nullity of that provision shall not render void the contract of carriage which shall remain subject to the provisions of this Convention.

Port State control ***I

European Parliament legislative resolution of 25 April 2007 on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on port State control (recast version) (COM(2005)0588 — C6-0028/2006 — 2005/0238(COD))

(Codecision procedure: first reading)

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission proposal to the European Parliament and the Council (COM(2005)0588) (1),

having regard to Article 251(2) and Article 80(2) of the EC Treaty, pursuant to which the Commission submitted the proposal to Parliament (C6-0028/2006),

having regard to Rule 51 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Transport and Tourism and the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs (A6-0081/2007);

1.

Approves the Commission proposal as amended;

2.

Calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it intends to amend the proposal substantially or replace it with another text;

3.

Instructs its President to forward its position to the Council and Commission.


(1)  Not yet published in OJ.

P6_TC1-COD(2005)0238

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 port State control (recast)

(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 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.

(2)

The Community is seriously concerned about shipping casualties and pollution of the seas and coastlines of the Member States.

(3)

The Community is equally concerned about on-board living and working conditions.

(4)

Safety, pollution prevention and shipboard living and working conditions may be effectively enhanced through a drastic reduction of substandard ships from Community waters, by strictly applying international Conventions, codes and resolutions.

(5)

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 .

(7)

A harmonised approach to the effective enforcement of these international standards by the Member States in respect of ships sailing in the waters under their jurisdiction and using their ports will avoid distortions of competition.

(8)

The shipping industry is vulnerable to acts of terrorism. Transport security measures should be implemented effectively and Member States should vigorously monitor compliance with the security rules by carrying out security checks.

(9)

Advantage should be taken of the experience gained during the operation of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control, signed in Paris on 26 January 1982(Paris MOU).

(10)

The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) established by Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2002  (5), should provide the necessary support to ensure the convergent and effective implementation of the port State control system. EMSA should in particular contribute to the development of a harmonised Community scheme for the qualification and training of port State control inspectors.

(11)

An efficient port State control regime should seek to ensure that all ships calling at a port within the European Union are regularly inspected. Inspection 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.

(12)

The inspection regime set up by this Directive should be coordinated with the work done by the Paris MOU. Since any developments arising from the Paris MOU should be agreed at Community level before being made applicable within the EU, close coordination should be established between the Community and the Paris MOU, with a view to achieving a single distinct inspection regime.

(13)

The rules and procedures for port-State inspections, including criteria for the detention of ships, should be harmonised to ensure consistent effectiveness in all ports, which would also drastically reduce the selective use of certain ports of destination to avoid the net of proper control.

(14)

Certain categories of ships present a major accident or pollution hazard when they reach a given age and should therefore be subject to an expanded inspection; the details of such expanded inspection need to be laid down.

(15)

Under the inspection regime set up by this Directive, the intervals between periodic inspections on ships depend on their risk profile that is determined by certain generic and historical parameters. For high risk ships this interval should not exceed six months.

(16)

Some ships pose a manifest risk to maritime safety and the marine environment because of their poor condition, flag and history. They should therefore be refused access to Community ports and anchorages , unless it can be demonstrated that they can be operated safely in Community waters. Guidelines should be established setting out the procedures applicable in the event of the imposition of such an access ban and of the lifting of the ban. In the interests of transparency, the list of ships refused access to Community ports and anchorages should be made public.

(17)

In order to reduce the burden placed on certain administrations and companies by repetitive inspections, a survey carried out on a ro-ro ferry or high-speed passenger craft under Council Directive 1999/35/EC of 29 April 1999 on a system of mandatory surveys for the safe operation of regular ro-ro ferry and high-speed passenger craft services (6), to the satisfaction of the host State, should be regarded as an expanded inspection under the port State control system.

(18)

Non-compliance with the provisions of the relevant Conventions must be rectified. Ships which need to be the subject of corrective action must, where the observed deficiencies are clearly hazardous to safety, health or the environment, be detained until such time as the shortcomings have been rectified.

(19)

A right of appeal should be made available against decisions for detention taken by the competent authorities, in order to prevent unreasonable decisions which are liable to cause undue detention and delay.

(20)

Authorities and inspectors involved in port State control activities should have no conflict of interests, whether with the port of inspection or with the ships inspected and related interests. Inspectors should be adequately qualified and should receive appropriate training so as to maintain and improve their competence in the conduct of inspections. Member States should cooperate in developing and promoting a harmonised Community scheme for the qualification and training of inspectors.

(21)

Pilots and port authorities should be enabled to provide useful information on anomalies found on board ships.

(22)

Complaints from persons with a confirmed legitimate interest regarding living and working conditions on board should be investigated. Priority should be given to dealing with complaints on board. Any person lodging a complaint should be informed of the follow-up action given to that complaint.

(23)

Cooperation between the competent authorities of the Member States and other authorities or organisations is necessary to ensure an effective follow-up with regard to ships with deficiencies which have been permitted to proceed and for the exchange of information about ships in port.

(24)

Since the inspection database is an essential part of port State control, Member States should ensure that it is updated in the light of Community requirements.

(25)

Publication of information concerning ships and their operators or companies which do not comply with international standards on safety, health and protection of the marine environment, may be an effective deterrent discouraging shippers from using such ships, and an incentive to their owners to take corrective action.

(26)

All costs of inspecting ships which warrant detention, and those incurred in lifting a refusal of access, should be borne by the owner or the operator.

(27)

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 (7). Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of that Decision.

(28)

In particular, in order not to impose a disproportionate administrative burden on Member States without seaports, a de minimis rule should permit them to derogate from the provisions of this Directive. Measures implementing that rule should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny.

(29)

Since the objectives of the action to be taken, namely to reduce substandard shipping in Community waters through improvement of the Community's inspection system for seagoing ships and the development of the means of taking preventive action in the field of pollution of the seas cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and may, therefore, on account of their scale and their effects, be better achieved at Community level, the Community can take measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve those objectives.

(30)

The obligation to transpose this Directive into national law should be confined to those provisions which represent a substantive change as compared with the earlier Directive. The obligation to transpose the provisions which are unchanged arises under the earlier Directive.

(31)

This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex XV, Part B.

(32)

In accordance with point 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on better law-making (8), Member States are encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interests of the Community, their own tables illustrating, as far as possible, the correlation between this Directive and the transposition measures, and to make them public,

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

Community inspection regime

1.    The Member States shall carry out inspections in accordance with the selection scheme described in Article 12 and the provisions of Annex I.

2.    Each Member State shall carry out annually a total number of inspections of individual ships corresponding to its share of the total number of inspections to be carried out annually in the Community and in the Paris MOU area. This share shall be based on the number of ships calling at the ports or anchorages of the Member State in question in relation to the sum of the number of ships calling at the ports and anchorages of each Member State of the Community and of the states party to the Paris MOU.

Article 6

Compliance with the Community inspection regime

In accordance with Article 5, each Member State shall:

(a)

inspect all Priority I ships, as referred to in Article 11(a), calling at its ports and anchorages and

(b)

annually carry out a total number of inspections on Priority I and Priority II ships, as referred to in Article 11(a) and (b), which correspond at least to its annual inspection commitment.

Article 7

Circumstances in which certain ships are not inspected

In the following circumstances, a Member State may decide to postpone the inspection of a Priority I ship:

(i)

if the inspection may be carried out at the next call of the ship in the same Member State, provided that the ship does not call at any other port or anchorage in the Community or the Paris MOU region in between and the postponement does not exceed 15 days; or

(ii)

if the inspection may be carried out in another port of call within the Community or the Paris MOU region within 15 days, provided that the State in which such port of call is located has agreed to perform the inspection.

If an inspection is postponed, but not performed in accordance with points (i) and (ii) and not recorded in the inspection database, it shall be counted as a missed inspection against the Member State which postponed the inspection.

2.     Under the following exceptional circumstances an inspection not performed on Priority I ships for operational reasons shall not be counted as a missed inspection, provided that the reason for missing the inspection is recorded in the inspection database, if in the judgement of the competent authority the conduct of the inspection would create a risk to the safety of inspectors, the ship, its crew or to the port, or to the marine environment.

If an inspection is not performed on a ship at anchor, it shall not be counted as a missed inspection provided that, if point (ii) applies, the reason for missing the inspection is recorded in the inspection database, if:

(i)

the ship is inspected in another port within the Community or the Paris MOU region in accordance with Annex I within 15 days, or

(ii)

in the judgement of the competent authority the conduct of the inspection would create a risk to the safety of inspectors, the ship, its crew or to the port, or to the marine environment.

4.     The Commission may adopt, in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 30(2), measures for the implementation of this Article.

Article 8

Notification of arrival of ships

1.    The operator, agent or master of a ship eligible for an expanded inspection in accordance with Article 13 bound for a port or anchorage of a Member State shall notify its arrival in accordance with the provisions of Annex III.

2.     On receipt of the notification referred to in paragraph 1 and in Article 4 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 (10), the relevant port authority shall pass on this information to the competent authority.

3.     Electronic means shall be used for the purposes of any communication provided for in this article. Other means shall be used only when electronic means are not available.

4.     The procedures and formats developed by the Member States for the implementation of Annex III shall comply with Directive 2002/59/EC.

Article 9

Ship risk profile

1.     Every ship calling at a port or anchorage in a Member State shall be attributed a ship risk profile which determines the degree of priority of the inspection, the intervals between inspections and the scope of inspections. The ship risk profile of each ship shall be entered in the inspection database.

The risk profile of a ship shall be determined by a combination of generic and historic risk parameters, as follows:

(a)

Generic parameters

Generic parameters shall be based on the type, age, flag, recognised organisations involved and company performance in accordance with Annex I, Part I, point 1 and Annex II.

(b)

Historic parameters

Historic parameters shall be based on the number of anomalies and detentions during a given period, in accordance with Annex I, Part I, point 2 and Annex II.
The Commission shall adopt, in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 30(2), the rules for the implementation of this Article, specifying in particular:

the values attributed to each risk parameter,

the combination of risk parameters corresponding to each level of ship risk profile,

the conditions for implementing the flag state criteria referred to in Annex I, Part I, point 1(c)(iii) concerning the demonstration of compliance with the relevant instruments.

Article 10

Frequency of inspections

Ships calling at Community ports or anchorages shall be subject to periodic inspections or to additional inspections as follows:

(a)

Ships shall be subject to periodic inspections at predetermined intervals depending on their risk profile in accordance with Annex I, Part II, Section 1. The interval between periodic inspections of high risk ships shall not exceed six months. The interval between periodic inspections of ships of other risk profiles shall increase as the risk decreases, in accordance with Annex I, Part II, Section 1.

(b)

Ships shall be subject to additional inspections regardless of the period since their last periodic inspection as follows:

(i)

the competent authority shall ensure that ships to which overriding factors listed in Annex I, Part II, Section 2.1 apply are subject to an inspection,

(ii)

ships to which unexpected factors listed in Annex I, Part II, Section 2.2 apply may be subject to an inspection. The decision to undertake such an additional inspection shall be left to the professional judgement of the competent authority.

2.     Periodic and additional inspections shall include an examination of pre-identified areas for each ship which will vary according to the type of ship, the type of inspection and the findings of previous port State control inspections.

The inspection database shall indicate the elements to identify the risk areas to be checked at each inspection.

3.     The Commission shall adopt, in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 30(2), and taking account of the procedures applied in the context of the Paris MOU, measures for the implementation of this Article, specifying in particular the list of areas to be inspected according to the type of ship.

Article 11

Selection of ships for inspection

The competent authority shall ensure that ships are selected for inspection on the basis of their risk profile as described in Annex I, Part I and when overriding or unexpected factors arise in accordance with Annex I, Part II, Section 2.

With a view to the inspection of ships, the competent authority:

(a)

shall select ships which are due for a mandatory inspection, referred to as ‘Priority I’ ships, in accordance with the selection scheme described in Annex I, Part II, Section 3.1,

(b)

may select ships which are eligible for inspection, referred to as ‘Priority II’ ships, in accordance with Annex I, Part II, Section 3.2.

Article 12

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:

Initial inspection

(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.

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 13

Expanded inspections

The following categories of ships shall be eligible for an expanded inspection in accordance with Annex I, Part II, Section 3.1, points (a) and (b):

ships with a high risk profile,

passenger ships, oil and chemical tankers, gas carriers and bulk carriers more than 12 years old,

ships with a high risk profile or passenger ships, oil and chemical tankers, gas carriers and bulk carriers more than 12 years old, in the event of overriding or unexpected factors,

ships subject to a re-inspection following a refusal of access order in accordance with Article 20.

Member States shall ensure that their competent authorities are duly informed of the relevant guidelines or procedures that need to be implemented in accordance with Community legislation and they shall verify their proper implementation.

2.    As far as safety checks are concerned, the Member States shall apply the procedures set out in Annex VII to all ships referred to in Article 3(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 725/2004 calling at their ports, as long as they do not fly the flag of the port state of inspection.

They shall apply those procedures to the ships referred to in Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 725/2004 when the provisions of that regulation have been extended to the ships referred to in Article 3(3).

3.    The provisions of Article 13 concerning expanded inspections shall apply to ro-ro ferries and to high-speed passenger craft as referred to in Article 2(a) and (b) of Directive 1999/35/EC.

When a ship has been surveyed in accordance with Articles 6 and 8 of Directive 1999/35/EC, such specific survey shall be considered as a more detailed or an expanded inspection, as relevant, and recorded as such in the inspection database.

Without prejudice to a prevention of operation of a ro-ro ferry or a high-speed passenger craft decided in accordance with Article 10 of Directive 1999/35/EC, the provisions of this Directive concerning rectification of deficiencies, detentions, refusal of access, follow-up to inspections, detentions and refusal of access, as appropriate, shall apply.

Article 15

Access refusal measures concerning certain ships

has been detained or issued with a prevention of operation order under Directive 1999/35/EC more than twice in the course of the preceding 36 months in a port of a Member State or of a MOU signatory State.

For the purposes of this paragraph, the list defined by the Paris MOU shall enter into force as of 1 July each year.

The refusal of access order shall be lifted only after a period of three months has passed from the date of issue of the order and when the conditions in paragraphs 4 to 10 of Annex IX are met.

If the ship is subject to a second refusal of access, the period shall be increased to 12 months. Any subsequent detention in a Community port shall result in the ship being permanently refused access to any port or anchorage within the Community.

2.   For the purposes of this Article , Member States shall comply with the procedures laid down in Annex IX, point B.

Article 16

Report of inspection to the master

On completion of an inspection, a more detailed inspection or an expanded inspection, the inspector shall draw up a report in accordance with Annex X. A copy of the inspection report shall be provided to the ship's master.

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.

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.

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.

Ships of a company with a high performance as determined by its ships' deficiency and detention rates within the European Union and the Paris MOU region are considered as posing a lower risk.

2.   Historic parameters

(i)

Ships which have been detained more than once are considered as posing a higher risk.

(ii)

Ships which, during inspection(s) carried out within the past 36 months, have presented fewer than five deficiencies per inspection and have not been detained within the past 36 months are considered as posing a lower risk.

(iii)

Ships which have not been detained within the previous 36 months are considered as posing a lower risk.

The generic and historic risk parameters referred to in Sections 1 and 2 shall be combined to determine the following ship risk profiles:

high risk,

standard risk,

low risk.

In determining these risk profiles greater emphasis shall be given to the parameters for type of ship, flag State performance, recognised organisations and company performance.

II.   INSPECTION OF SHIPS

Ships calling at Community ports are subject to periodic inspections at regular intervals, and to additional inspections when unexpected factors arise.

1.   Periodic inspections

Periodic inspections shall be carried out at predetermined intervals. Their frequency shall be determined by the ship risk profile. The interval between periodic inspections of high risk ships shall not exceed six months. The interval between periodic inspections of ships of other risk profiles shall increase as the risk decreases.

Member States shall carry out a periodic inspection on:

Any ship with a high risk profile which has not been inspected in a port of the European Union or of the Paris MOU region during the last six months. High risk ships become eligible for inspection as from the fifth month.

Any ship with a standard risk profile which has not been inspected in a port of the European Union or of the Paris MOU region during the last 12 months. Standard risk ships become eligible for inspection as from the tenth month.

Any ship with a low risk profile which has not been inspected in a port of the EU or of the Paris MOU region during the last 30 months . Low risk ships become eligible for inspection as from the 24th month.

2.   Additional inspections

Ships to which the following overriding or unexpected factors apply are subject to an inspection regardless of the period since their last periodic inspection.

2.1.   Overriding factors

Ships to which the following overriding factors apply shall be inspected regardless of the period since their last periodic inspection:

Ships which have been suspended or withdrawn from their class for safety reasons since the last inspection in the European Union or in the Paris MOU region.

Ships which have been the subject of a report or notification by another Member State.

Ships which cannot be identified in the inspection database.

Ships which:

have been involved in a collision, grounding or stranding on their way to the port;

have been accused of an alleged violation of the provisions on discharge of harmful substances or effluents, or

have manoeuvred in an erratic or unsafe manner whereby routing measures, adopted by the IMO, or safe navigation practices and procedures have not been followed.

Ships which have failed to comply with the relevant notification requirements referred to in Article 8 of this Directive, in Directive 2000/59/EC, Directive 2002/59/EC and if appropriate in Regulation (EC) No 725/2004.

Ships which have been reported with outstanding deficiencies, except those for which deficiencies had to be rectified within 14 days after departure, or for deficiencies which had to be rectified before departure .

2.2.   Unexpected factors

Ships to which the following unexpected factors apply shall be subject to inspection regardless of the period since their last periodic inspection. However, the decision to undertake such an additional inspection is left to the professional judgement of the inspector.

Ships which have:

been operated in such a manner as to pose a danger to persons, property or the environment, or

not complied with recommendations on navigation through the entrances to the Baltic Sea as made in the Annexes to Resolution MSC.138(76) of the IMO.

Ships carrying certificates issued by a formerly recognised organisation whose recognition has been withdrawn since the last inspection in the European Union or in the Paris MOU region.

Ships which have been reported by pilots or port authorities as having anomalies/findings or apparent defects which may prejudice their safe navigation or pose a threat of harm to the environment in accordance with Article 22 of this Directive.

Ships which have been the subject of a report or complaint by the master, a crew member, or any person or organisation with a legitimate interest in the safe operation of the ship, shipboard living and working conditions or the prevention of pollution, unless the Member State concerned deems the report or complaint to be manifestly unfounded.

Ships which have been previously detained more than three months ago .

Ships which have been reported with problems concerning their cargo, in particular noxious and dangerous cargoes.

Ships which have been operated in such a manner as to pose a danger to persons, property or the environment.

Ships where information from a reliable source became known that their risk parameters differ from the recorded ones and the risk level is thereby increased.

ANNEX VII

PROCEDURES FOR THE CONTROL OF SHIPS ON SECURITY ASPECTS

A.   Prior to boarding.

1.

This guidance applies only to ships mentioned in Articles 3(1) and 3(2) and, where appropriate, 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 725/2004, as long as they do not fly the flag of the port state of inspection.

2.

Inspectors should be aware of the security level of the port facility at which a ship is to be inspected.

3.

Reports or complaints relating to security received by inspectors prior to boarding the ship should be passed to the competent authority for maritime security (1) who will decide on priority for security inspection by an Officer Duly Authorised for Security.

4.

While the master of a ship has discretion for ship security, he is not entitled to deny access to a duly authorised inspector to carry out an inspection. There may be cases when it is mandatory to carry out a port State control inspection but the master attempts to limit the inspection on grounds of security. If the inspector considers this to be unreasonable he should consult the competent security authority.

5.

Inspectors should be aware that on a ship at security level 3 the protective measures set up may restrict the scope of the ‘safety’ port State control inspection.

For example a full emergency drill may not be allowed. There may also be circumstances where the competent security authority restricts port State control activity.

B.   Initial inspection

During the initial inspection the inspector should:

1.

while approaching and boarding the ship and moving around the ship take note of security aspects as defined in the relevant guidelines of the Paris MOU, taking into account the security level imposed by the port and ship. Inspectors are not required to test the security system and should only consider those aspects which arise during the course of their normal business on board;

2.

check that the International Ship Security Certificate (ISSC) or the Interim ISSC is on board, valid and has been issued by the ship's Administration, an organisation authorised by it or by another State at the request of the Administration;

3.

ask the master with which security level the ship is complying and confirm that this is at least the level imposed by the port;

4.

when checking other documentation ask for evidence that security drills have been carried out at appropriate intervals — at least every three months but also after certain crew changes — (ISPS Code Part A Section 13 and Part B paragraphs 13.6 and 13.7) and seek information on any exercise involving the ship;

5.

check the records of the last 10 calls at port facilities including any ship/port or ship/ship interfaces which should include for each interface:

security level at which ship operated — any special or additional security measures that were taken,

that appropriate ship security measures were maintained during any ship/ship activity.

6.

assess whether key members of the ship's personnel are able to communicate effectively with each other.

C.   Clear grounds

1.

The inspector may establish clear grounds for further control measures on security during the initial PSC inspection as follows:

1.1.

ISSC is not valid or it has expired

1.2.

The ship is at a lower security level than the port

1.3.

Drills related to the security of the ship have not been carried out

1.4.

Records for the last 10 ship/port or ship/ship interfaces are incomplete

1.5.

Evidence or observation that key members of ship's personnel cannot communicate with each other

1.6.

Evidence from observations that serious deficiencies exist in security arrangements

1.7.

Information from third parties such as a report or a complaint concerning security related information

1.8.

The ship holds a subsequent, consecutively issued Interim ISSC and in the professional judgement of the inspector one of the purposes of the ship or company in requesting such a certificate is to avoid full compliance with SOLAS 74 Chapter XI-2 and Part A of the ISPS Code, beyond the period of the initial Interim Certificate. ISPS Code Part A specifies the circumstances when an Interim Certificate may be issued.

2.

If clear grounds as described above are established the inspector will immediately inform the competent security authority (unless the inspector is also a Officer Duly Authorised for Security). The competent security authority will then decide on what further control measures are necessary taking into account the security level in accordance with Regulation 9 of SOLAS 74 Chapter XI.

3.

Clear grounds other than those above are a matter for the Officer Duly Authorised for Security.

D.   Further control measures

1.

If there is no valid ISSC or Interim ISSC onboard, the inspector will detain the ship and apply the detention procedure in Annex XI of this Directive.

2.

All other control measures will be decided by the competent security authority. These are listed in SOLAS 74 Chapter XI-2.

3.

Subject to applicable requirements in Community legislation, national legislation and arrangements the competent security authority may request the inspector to make further verifications before coming to a decision or until Officers Duly Authorised for Security can board the ship.

These verifications should be limited to:

(a)

verifying that a security plan is on board and that a ship security officer (SSO) is on board;

(b)

verifying that the master and ship's personnel, in particular the SSO, duty officer and person(s) controlling access, are familiar with essential shipboard security procedures;

(c)

verifying that communication has been established between the SSO and the Port Facility Security Officer;

(d)

verifying that records exist for maintaining the ship's security system including:

internal audits and reviews of security activities,

periodic review of the ship security assessment,

periodic review of the ship security plan,

implementation of any amendments to the ship security plan,

maintenance, calibration and testing of any security equipment provided on board including testing of the ship security alert system;

(e)

checking records of any:

security threats,

breaches of security,

changes in security levels,

communications relating to the direct security of the ship.

4.

Where the only means to verify or rectify the non compliance is to review the relevant requirements of the ship security plan, limited access to specific sections of the plan relating to the non compliance is exceptionally allowed, but only with the consent of the flag State, or the master, of the ship concerned. These specific sections are listed in Part A of the ISPS Code.

5.

Some provisions of the plan relating to certain confidential information cannot be subject to inspection unless agreed by the flag State concerned.

These specific sections are listed in Part A of the ISPS Code.

6.

If the competent security takes further control actions which limit the scope of or prevent the completion of the ‘safety’ port state control inspection the inspector should liaise with the competent security authority and endeavour to complete the safety inspection when the ship has been cleared. The principle of not unduly delaying a ship still applies. However the fact that security breaches have been found would normally justify the inspector completing the initial safety inspection or continuing where clear grounds for a more detailed inspection of non-security aspects have been found.

7.

If the competent security authority decides to expel the ship the inspector should ensure that the competent security authority is made fully aware of the possible safety and/or environmental consequences of the ship leaving the berth and/or putting to sea. This may include risks arising from the interruption of cargo operations. The competent security authority should decide on the necessary action taking account of all risks.

8.

If a ship is detained on non-security grounds but then expelled before the ship is finally released, the detention will count towards a refusal of access in accordance with Article 15.


(1)  The Authority designated by the State for the application of security measures.

If deemed appropriate, the inspection may be continued while the ship is on passage to or from the port in the Member State, with the consent of the ship's master or the operator. Inspectors must not obstruct the operation of the ship, nor must they induce situations that, in the master's judgement, could endanger the safety of the passengers, the crew and the ship.

ANNEX IX

PROVISIONS CONCERNING REFUSAL OF ACCESS TO COMMUNITY PORTS

(as referred to in Article 15)

A.   CRITERIA FOR REFUSAL OF ACCESS (as referred to in Article 15(1))

1.

The refusal of access is applicable to any ship flying the flag of a State whose detention rate falls into the black list or grey list as defined by the Paris MOU which has been detained or issued with a prevention of operation order under Council Directive 99/35/EC more than twice in the course of the preceding 36 months in a port of a Member State or of a State signatory of the MOU.

2.

For the purposes of paragraph 1, the list defined by the Paris MOU shall enter into force as from 1 July each year.

B.   PROCEDURES RELATING TO REFUSAL OF ACCESS TO COMMUNITY PORTS (as referred to in Article 15(2))

1.

If the conditions described in Point A are met, the competent authority of the port or anchorage in which the ship is detained for the third time shall inform the master of the ship in writing that a refusal of access order will be issued which will become applicable immediately after the ship has left the port or anchorage. The refusal of access order shall become applicable immediately after the ship has left the port or anchorage after the deficiencies leading to the detention have been remedied.

2.

The competent authority shall send a copy of the order of refusal of access to the flag State administration, the recognised organisation concerned, the other Member States, and the other signatories to the MOU, the Commission and the Paris MOU Secretariat. The competent authority shall also update the inspection database with information on the refusal of access without delay.

3.

The refusal of access order shall be lifted only after a period of three months has passed from the date of issue of the order and when the conditions in paragraphs 4 to 10 are met.

If the ship is subject to a second refusal of access, the period shall be of 12 months. Any subsequent detention in a port of the Community shall result in the ship being permanently refused access in any port or anchorage within the Community.

4.

In order to have the access refusal order lifted, the owner or the operator must address a formal request to the competent authority of the Member State that imposed the access refusal order. This request must be accompanied by a document from the flag State administration issued following an on-board visit by a surveyor duly authorised by the flag State administration, showing that the ship fully conforms to the applicable provisions of the international Conventions. The flag State administration shall provide evidence to the competent authority that a visit on board has taken place.

5.

The request for the lifting of the access refusal order must also be accompanied, where appropriate, by a document from the classification society which has the ship in class following an on-board visit by a surveyor from the classification society, showing that the ship conforms to the class standards stipulated by that society. The classification society shall provide evidence to the competent authority that a visit on board has taken place.

6.

The access refusal order may be lifted only, after the period of three months referred to in paragraph 3 above has elapsed and following a re-inspection of the ship at an agreed port or anchorage.

If the agreed port or anchorage is located in a Member State, the competent authority of that State may, at the request of the competent authority which issued the access refusal order, authorise the ship to enter the agreed port in order to carry out the re-inspection. In such cases, no cargo operations shall take place at the port until the refusal of access order has been lifted.

7.

If the detention which led to the issue of a refusal of access order included deficiencies in the ship's structure, the competent authority which issued the refusal of access order may require that certain spaces, including cargo spaces and tanks, are made available for examination during the re-inspection.

8.

The re-inspection shall be carried out by the competent authority of the Member State that imposed the refusal of access order, or by the competent authority of the port of destination with the agreement of the competent authority of the Member State that imposed the refusal of access order. The competent authority may require up to 14 days notice for the re-inspection. Evidence shall be provided to the satisfaction of this Member State that the ship fully complies with the applicable requirements of the International Conventions.

9.

The re-inspection shall consist of an expanded inspection that must cover at least the relevant items of Annex VIII.

10.

All costs of this expanded inspection will be borne by the owner or the operator.

11.

If the results of the expanded inspection satisfy the Member State in accordance with Annex VIII, the access refusal order must be lifted and the company of the ship informed thereof in writing.

12.

The competent authority shall also notify its decision in writing to the flag State administration, the classification society concerned, the other Member States, the other signatories to the Paris MOU, the Commission and the Paris MOU Secretariat. The competent authority must also update the inspection database with information on the removal of the access without delay.

13.

Information relating to ships that have been refused access to Community ports must be made available in the inspection database and published in conformity with the provisions of Article 25 and of Annex XIII.

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;

(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

(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.

2.

Application of main criteria

When deciding whether the deficiencies found in a ship are sufficiently serious to merit detention the inspector must assess whether:

1.

the ship has relevant, valid documentation;

2.

the ship has the crew required in the Minimum Safe Manning Document.

During inspection the inspector must further assess whether the ship and/or crew is able to:

3.

navigate safely throughout the forthcoming voyage;

4.

safely handle, carry and monitor the condition of the cargo throughout the forthcoming voyage;

5.

operate the engine room safely throughout the forthcoming voyage;

6.

maintain proper propulsion and steering throughout the forthcoming voyage;

7.

fight fires effectively in any part of the ship if necessary during the forthcoming voyage;

8.

abandon ship speedily and safely and effect rescue if necessary during the forthcoming voyage;

9.

prevent pollution of the environment throughout the forthcoming voyage;

10.

maintain adequate stability throughout the forthcoming voyage;

11.

maintain adequate watertight integrity throughout the forthcoming voyage;

12.

communicate in distress situations if necessary during the forthcoming voyage;

13.

provide safe and healthy conditions on board throughout the forthcoming voyage;

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.

3.2.

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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(10)

This objective should be pursued through measures that adequately tie in with the work of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and, where appropriate, build on and complement that work.

(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.

(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.

(14)

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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(25)

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.

(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.

(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.

(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).

(30)

The ability of recognised organisations rapidly to identify and correct weaknesses in their rules, processes and internal controls is critical for the safety of the ships they inspect and certify. That ability should be enhanced by means of an independent assessment committee which can propose action for the sustained improvement of all recognised organisations and ensure a fruitful interaction with the Commission.

(31)

The rules and regulations of recognised organisations are a key factor for safety and the prevention of accidents and pollution. The recognised organisations have initiated the process that should lead to harmonisation of their rules and regulations. That process should be encouraged and supported by Community legislation, as it should have a positive impact on maritime safety and the competitiveness of the European shipbuilding industry.

(32)

Recognised organisations should be obliged to update their technical standards and enforce them consistently in order to harmonise safety rules and ensure uniform implementation of international rules within the Community. Where the technical standards of recognised organisations are identical or very similar, mutual recognition of classification certificates should be considered where possible, taking the most demanding and rigorous certificates as the model .

(33)

Since transparency and the exchange of information between interested parties, as well as the public right of access to information, are fundamental means of preventing accidents at sea, recognised organisations should provide all the relevant statutory information concerning the conditions of the ships in their class to the port State control authorities and make that information publicly available.

(34)

In order to prevent ships from changing class to avoid carrying out repairs called for by a recognised organisation in its inspection, prior arrangements should be made for the exchange of all relevant information by recognised organisations among themselves concerning the conditions of ships for which a change of class is sought and for the involvement of the flag State when necessary in that process.

(35)

The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) established by Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8) should provide the support necessary to ensure the correct implementation of this Directive.

(36)

Since the objective of this Directive, namely the adoption of common rules and standards for recognised organisations operating in the Community and for the relevant activities of maritime authorities, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

(37)

The obligation to transpose this Directive into national law should be confined to those provisions which represent a substantive change as compared with Directive 94/57/EC. The obligation to transpose the provisions which are unchanged arises under that Directive.

(38)

This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law of the Directives set out in Annex II, Part B,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

This Directive establishes measures to be followed by the Member States and recognised organisations they have entrusted with the inspection, survey and certification of ships for compliance with the international conventions on safety at sea and prevention of marine pollution, while furthering the objective of freedom to provide services.

The amendments to the international instruments referred to in Article 2(d) and Article 8 may be excluded from the scope of this Directive pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2099/2002.

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.

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.

(a)

criteria to measure the effectiveness of the rules, regulations, and performance of the recognised organisations as regards the safety of, and the prevention of pollution from, their classed ships , having particular regard to the data produced by the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control and by other similar regimes; and

(b)

criteria to determine when a given performance , omission or delay is to be considered an unacceptable threat to safety or the environment. Those criteria may take into account specific circumstances affecting smaller-sized or highly specialised recognised organisations.

The Commission shall adopt detailed rules for the implementation of Article 12 and, if appropriate, Article 13 in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 9(2) .

Article 15

set out by way of

(a)

the Member State informs the Commission and the other Member States of its decision without delay and giving substantiated reasons therefor;

(b)

the Commission , having regard to safety and pollution prevention, assesses the reasons put forward by the Member State for suspending its authorisation of the recognised organisation ;

(c)

acting in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 9(2), the Commission informs the Member State whether or not its decision to suspend the authorisation is sufficiently justified on grounds of a serious risk to safety or the environment . If the decision is not justified, the Commission requests the Member State to withdraw the suspension. If the decision is justified and the Member State, pursuant to Article 7(1), has restricted the number of recognised organisations acting on its behalf, the Commission requests that Member State to grant a new authorisation to another recognised organisation to replace the suspended recognised organisation.

Article 16

1.   Member States shall check 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

1.   No clauses in a contract of a recognised organisation with a third party or in an authorisation agreement with a flag State may be invoked to restrict the access of the Commission to the information necessary for the purposes of the assessment referred to in Article 16(3).

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.

transferring provide receiving with the complete file of the ship and, in particular, inform it

(a)

any overdue surveys;

(b)

any overdue recommendations and conditions of class;

(c)

operating conditions issued against the ship; and

(d)

operating restrictions issued against the ship.

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.

Article 21

The Member States, together with the recognised establish,  (13), an assessment committee in accordance with the EN 45012 quality standards. The relevant professional associations working in the shipping industry may participate in an advisory capacity. The assessment committee shall carry out

(a)

regulation and assessment of the systems for management of the quality of recognised organisations, in accordance with the ISO 9001 quality standard criteria ;

(b)

certification of the quality system of recognised organisations ;

(c)

issue of binding interpretations of internationally recognised quality management standards, in particular to take account of the specific features of the nature and obligations of recognised organisations, and

(d)

adoption of individual and collective recommendations for the improvement of recognised organisations' rules, processes and internal control mechanisms.

The assessment committee shall have the necessary competences to act independently of the recognised organisations and shall have the necessary means to carry out its duties effectively and to the highest professional standards. The assessment committee shall lay down its working methods and rules of procedure.

The assessment committee shall provide the interested parties, including the Commission , with full information on its annual work plan as well as on its findings and recommendations, particularly with regard to situations where safety might have been compromised.

2.   The assessment committee shall be periodically audited by the Commission, which may , acting in accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 9(2), require that committee to adopt measures which the Commission deems necessary to ensure full compliance with paragraph 1.

The Commission shall report to the Member States on the results of and follow up to its assessment.

3.   Without prejudice to Articles 11 and 13, the Commission shall re-examine all limited recognitions granted under Directive 94/57/EC in light of Article 6(3) of this Directive by ... (14), with a view to deciding, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 9(2), whether the limitations should be replaced by others or removed. The limitations shall continue to apply until the Commission has acted.

Article 23

In the course of the assessment pursuant to Article 16(3), the Commission shall verify that the holder of the recognition is the relevant legal entity within the recognised organisation to which the provisions of this Directive apply . If that is not the case, the Commission shall amend the recognition accordingly by decision.

Where the Commission amends the recognition, the Member States shall adapt their agreements with the recognised organisation to take account of that amendment.

Article 24

The Commission shall, on a regular basis, inform the European Parliament and the Council of progress in the implementation of this Directive by the Member States.

Article 25

Temporary committee on climate change

European Parliament decision of 25 April 2007 on setting up a temporary committee on climate change

The European Parliament,

having regard to Rule 175 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the decision of the Conference of Presidents of 19 April 2007 to propose that a temporary committee on climate change be set up and its powers and composition defined,

having regard to the urgent need to adopt concrete measures, at all levels, to confront climate change and the need for political leaders to activate that process,

having regard to its resolutions on climate change, particularly those adopted on 16 November 2005 (1), 26 October 2006 (2) and 14 February 2007, (3)

having regard to the need to collect and coordinate the opinions of the various committees concerned, so that the Parliament can play a key role in raising awareness and placing the challenge of climate change at the very top of the international agenda,

having regard to the need to organise the temporary committee's work and structures accordingly, by granting, in particular, the additional resources needed to deal with that subject appropriately;

1.

Decides to set up a temporary committee on climate change, vested with the following powers:

(a)

to formulate proposals on the EU's future integrated policy on climate change and to coordinate the Parliament's position in the negotiations regarding the international framework for climate policy after 2012;

(b)

to analyse and evaluate the state of climate change and propose appropriate measures, at all levels, accompanied by an assessment of both their financial impact and the cost of inaction;

(c)

to draw up as comprehensive an inventory as possible of recent progress made and future prospects in combating climate change, in order to provide Parliament with the detailed analysis of those developments, which it needs in order to assume its political responsibilities;

(d)

to study the environmental, legal, economic, social, geopolitical, regional and public-health impact of recent progress made and of future prospects;

(e)

to analyse and evaluate the application, to date, of relevant Community legislation;

(f)

to that end, to make the necessary contacts and hold hearings with the parliaments and governments of the Member States and third countries, the European Institutions and international organisations, as well as representatives of the scientific community, business and civil society, including the networks of local and regional authorities;

2.

Decides that, while the powers of the Parliament's standing committees responsible for the adoption, follow-up and implementation of Community legislation on the subject shall remain unchanged, the temporary committee may make recommendations as to measures or initiatives to be taken;

3.

Decides that the term of office of the temporary committee shall be 12 months, beginning on 10 May 2007, at the end of which it shall present a report to Parliament containing, as appropriate, recommendations as to actions or initiatives to be taken;

4.

Decides that the temporary committee shall have 60 members.

Damages actions for breach of competition rules

European Parliament resolution of 25 April 2007 on the Green Paper on Damages actions for breach of the EC antitrust rules (2006/2207(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission Green Paper on Damages actions for breach of EC antitrust rules (COM(2005)0672) (Green Paper on Damages),

having regard to the Commission Report on Competition Policy 2004 (SEC(2005)0805),

having regard to its resolution of 15 November 1961 in reply to the EEC Council of Ministers' request for Parliament to be consulted in respect of the proposal for an initial implementing regulation concerning Articles 85 and 86 of the EEC Treaty (1),

having regard to the Commission Notice on cooperation between national competition authorities and the Commission in handling cases falling within the scope of Articles 85 or 86 of the EC Treaty (2),

having regard to the Presidency conclusions of the Lisbon European Council of 23 and 24 March 2000, the Gothenburg European Council of 15 and 16 June 2001, the Laeken European Council of 14 and 15 December 2001, the Barcelona European Council of 15 and 16 March 2002, and the Brussels European Councils of 20 and 21 March 2003, 25 and 26 March 2004, 22 and 23 March 2005, and 23 and 24 March 2006,

having regard to the High Level Group report entitled ‘Facing the challenge — The Lisbon Strategy for growth and employment’, November 2004,

having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 of 16 December 2002 on the implementation of the rules on competition laid down in Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty (3), Commission Regulation (EC) No 773/2004 of 7 April 2004 relating to the conduct of proceedings by the Commission pursuant to Articles 81 and 82 of the EC Treaty (4), and Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 of 20 January 2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (5),

having regard to the international instruments that recognise the right to effective judicial protection, in particular, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, as well as the protocols thereto,

having regard to Article 6 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the protocols to the Convention,

having regard to Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (6),

having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs and the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs (A6-0133/2007),

A.

whereas competition policy has formed part of the European integration venture from its outset and is key to the process of the construction of the European Union,

B.

whereas free and undistorted competition is essential to achieving the objectives of the Lisbon-Göteborg Strategy, the vitality of the internal market, entrepreneurial excellence, consumer interests and the goals of the European Union, while anti-competitive behaviour is prejudicial to those objectives,

C.

whereas Articles 81 and 82 of the EC Treaty are public policy provisions that have direct effects and that should automatically be applied by the competent authorities; whereas those provisions create rights between individuals, which national judicial authorities should safeguard effectively in line with the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, including the judgment in Case 26/62 van Gend & Loos  (7), which is notable, in particular, for being the precursor to subsequent cases,

D.

whereas in the Member States, competition law is chiefly enforced through public-law channels and considerable differences and obstacles exist at Member State level which may prevent potential claimants from pursuing actions for compensation,

E.

whereas as the Court of Justice considers that, in the absence of Community rules governing the right of victims to claim damages before the national judicial authorities, it is for the domestic legal system of each Member State to designate the courts or tribunals having jurisdiction and to lay down detailed procedural rules governing actions for safeguarding rights which individuals derive directly from Community law, provided that such rules are no less favourable than those governing similar domestic actions (in accordance with the principle of equivalence), and provided that they do not render practically impossible or excessively difficult the exercise of rights conferred by Community law (in accordance with the principle of effectiveness),

F.

whereas the rare and exceptional use of private actions before the jurisdictions of national judicial authorities, as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 indicates that there is a need for measures to facilitate the bringing of actions for damages; whereas such measures should increase compliance with EC competition law, bearing in mind the different rules of procedure and evidence applicable across the Member States; whereas this should not lead to a situation in which undertakings engaging in lawful economic behaviour are placed at undue risk of having to pay unjustified claims, or to change their behaviour, in order to avoid costly litigation,

G.

whereas consumers and businesses that have suffered damage as a result of a breach of the competition rules should have a right to compensation,

H.

whereas developments in EU civil justice rules, in particular as regards access to justice, have not kept pace with recent developments in Community competition law in the internal market,

I.

whereas in Case C-453/99 (8), the Court of Justice ruled that, in order to ensure the full effectiveness of Article 81 of the Treaty, individuals and companies may claim compensation for damage caused to them by virtue of a contract or conduct that restricts or distorts competition,

J.

whereas the existing redress mechanisms for breaches of competition rules at European level do not guarantee the full effectiveness of Article 81 of the Treaty, in particular with regard to those suffering damage,

K.

whereas many Member States are examining ways better to protect consumers by allowing collective actions, and whereas differing courses of action may lead to the distortion of competition in the internal market,

L.

whereas any proposal by the Commission in areas for which the Commission does not have exclusive competence must, pursuant to the Treaty, comply with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality;

1.

Points out that Community competition rules would lack dissuasive effect, and their effectiveness would be compromised, if anyone acting in a proscribed manner were able to enjoy advantages on the market or immunity in respect of breaches of the rules due to obstacles to full claims for damages; considers that the bringing of legal actions by the representatives of the public interest and victims should be facilitated;

2.

Considers that citizens or businesses suffering damage as a result of a breach of competition law should have the opportunity to claim compensation for their losses;

3.

Welcomes the fact that the Court of Justice has recognised the right of victims who have suffered losses as a result of anti-competitive behaviour to bring ‘stand alone’ or ‘follow on’ legal actions to obtain compensation; welcomes, therefore, the Green Paper on Damages as well as the preparatory works linked thereto;

4.

Calls, with a view to promoting competition rather than litigation, for the promotion of swift and amicable out-of-court settlements and the facilitation of plea agreements in claims for damages arising from anti-competitive behaviour and points out that in the event that the party that is alleged to have infringed competition rules claims and proves that the damage has been compensated before the conclusion of the proceedings, this could be regarded as mitigating factor in setting the amount of damages to be awarded; also welcomes the fact that competition authorities in the European Union can to some extent perform an institutional arbitration role by administering arbitration procedures including appointing arbitrators at the request of the parties;

5.

Considers, therefore, that the legal systems of the Member States should provide for effective civil law procedures whereby compensation can be claimed for damage resulting from breaches of competition law;

6.

Takes the view that instituting private actions should be complementary to and compatible with public enforcement, which, in turn, could become more strategic and selective in nature, focusing on the most important issues and significant cases; considers, however, that such change in focus should not constitute a justification for the under-resourcing of competition authorities;

7.

Calls for Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty to be implemented uniformly, regardless of the administrative or judicial nature of the authority adopting the decision; takes the view that decisions adopted by judicial authorities should be consistent and reflect common principles of security and effectiveness that avoid distortions and inconsistencies within the European Union; considers that the objective should be to arrive at procedures and a situation in which a prior final ruling by a national competition authority (NCA) or national judicial authority is binding on all Member States insofar as the parties to and circumstances of the case are the same;

8.

Emphasises that it is vital to provide judicial authorities with training in competition law in order to ensure the quality of their rulings, and to respect the essential importance of having proceedings handled by specialist or highly qualified bodies;

9.

Maintains that in order to protect competition and the rights of victims all judicial authorities implementing the Community competition rules should be able to adopt provisional measures, order measures of enquiry and make use of their powers of investigation where necessary;

10.

Stresses that, for the purposes of establishing the relevant facts in the application of Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty, the national judicial authorities should enjoy powers comparable with those granted to the NCAs, and that, to ensure consistency, there is a need to strengthen cooperation between the NCAs and the national judicial authorities and among the national judicial authorities;

11.

Emphasises that the competent authorities implementing the Community competition rules should have uniform criteria for establishing the burden of proof; notes that it may be necessary to take into account asymmetry of information available to the parties; suggests that in legal proceedings, the facts should be deemed established when the competent judicial authority is satisfied of the existence of a breach and damage with a causative link;

12.

Calls for the judicial authorities responsible for applying competition law to be empowered to order access to information relevant to the outcome of actions in damages, subject to a prior hearing of the other party except in urgent cases, by way of proportionate measures under their supervision; points out that in accessing information relevant to the outcome of proceedings the legitimacy of professional secrecy in relations between lawyers and their clients, business secrets of economic players and legislation on official secrets must be respected; calls on the Commission to draw up, as swiftly as possible, a communication on the processing of confidential information by the authorities applying Community competition law;

13.

Urges Member States to accept that the finding of an infringement arrived at by an NCA, once final and, where appropriate, confirmed on appeal, automatically constitutes prima facie proof of fault in civil proceedings involving the same issues, provided that the defendant was given an adequate opportunity to defend itself in the administrative proceedings;

14.

Further considers it unnecessary to discuss and prescribe at Community level the need for the appointment of experts;

15.

Considers that the proposed regulation on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (Rome II) should provide a satisfactory solution save where the anti-competitive behaviour affects competition in more than one Member State, and that consideration should therefore be given to introducing a specific rule relating to such cases;

16.

Urges the national judicial authorities to cooperate in protecting confidential information and rendering leniency programmes effective; considers that in the event of a conflict arising over access to and the processing of such information available to the members of the European competition network (ECN), this should be settled in the light of the interpretation of Community law by the Court of Justice;

17.

Emphasises that payments awarded to complainants should be compensatory and should not exceed the actual damage (damnum emergens) and losses (‘lucrum cessans’) suffered, in order to avoid unjust enrichment, and that the ability of the victim to mitigate the damage and losses may be taken into account; however in the case of cartels, suggeststhat first applicants cooperating with the competition authorities in leniency programmes should not be held jointly and severally liable with the other infringers, and that interest should be calculated from the date of the infringement;

18.

Considers that any proposed measure must fully respect the public policy of the Member States, in particular with regard to punitive damages;

19.

Underlines that Member States should take into account that the possibility of defendants arguing that all or part of the gains they made as a result of the infringement have been transferred to third parties (the passing-on defence) would be detrimental to establishing the extent of the damage and the causal link;

20.

Concurs with case law of the Court of Justice that all victims should be able to bring legal actions; takes the view that Member States that make provision for actions for indirect losses should grant the defendant the possibility of asserting a passing-on defence in order to avoid the possibility of unjust enrichment; notes that it is therefore essential to have a mechanism for dealing with multiple small claims;

21.

Takes the view that, in the interests of justice and or reasons of economy, speed and consistency, victims should be able voluntarily to bring collective actions, either directly or via organisations whose statutes have this as their object;

22.

Notes that in many cases there will be an asymmetry of resources between the complainant and the defendant in legal proceedings for damages arising from anti-competitive behaviour and that, in such cases, complainants should not be deterred from bringing well-founded actions for damages for fear of having to pay excessive legal costs, including the costs of the defendant in the event that the claim is unsuccessful; suggests, therefore, that judicial authorities should be able to take into account the different economic situation of the parties and, where appropriate, should make an assessment at the outset of proceedings; considers that the level of costs should be based on reasonable and objective criteria taking into account the nature of the trial, and should include the costs engendered by the legal proceedings;

23.

Recommends that in the legal aid programmes that can legitimately be adopted to enable private actions to be brought more easily for damages arising from anti-competitive behaviour, clear-cut conditions be laid down as regards the supervision of the proceedings and the reimbursement of such aid, in particular in the event that the case is settled and the infringer is ordered to pay costs;

24.

Considers that national limitation periods for actions for infringements of the Community competition rules should allow actions to be brought within one year of a decision by the Commission or an NCA finding that those rules have been infringed (or, in the event of an appeal, one year from the conclusion of such appeal); considers that where there is no such decision it should be possible to bring actions for damages for infringements of Article 81 or 82 of the Treaty, the Community competition rules, at any time during the period within which the Commission is entitled to take a decision imposing a fine for those infringements; considers that time should stop running for the period of any formal discussions or mediation between the parties;

25.

Suggests that the limitation period applying to the right to claim compensation in the event of a breach of competition law be suspended from the time when the Commission or NCA in one or more Member States launches an investigation into such breach;

26.

Points out that instituting private actions for damages does not affect the powers or responsibilities that the Treaty confers on the Commission in the area of competition law;

27.

Urges the Commission to adopt, as swiftly as possible, guidelines for the provision of assistance to the parties in quantifying the damage they have suffered and establishing the causal link; calls also for priority to be given to drawing up a communication on bringing independent legal actions, which includes recommendations for the filing of claims and examples for the most frequent cases;

28.

Calls on the Commission to prepare a White Paper with detailed proposals to facilitate the bringing of ‘stand alone’ and ‘follow on’ private actions claiming damages for behaviour in breach of the Community competition rules, which addresses, in a comprehensive manner, the issues raised in this Resolution and gives consideration, where appropriate, to an adequate legal framework; also calls on the Commission to include therein proposals for strengthening the cooperation between all the authorities responsible for applying Community competition rules;

29.

Considers that any Commission initiative governing the right of victims to claim damages before the national judicial authorities must be accompanied by an impact assessment;

30.

Calls on the Commission to work closely with the competent national authorities of the Member States in order to mitigate any cross-border obstacles that prevent EU citizens and businesses from filing cross-border damages claims in cases of breaches of Community competition rules in Member States; considers that, if necessary, the Commission should take legal action to remove such obstacles;

31.

Urges those Member States in which citizens and businesses do not yet have such an effective right to claim compensation, to adapt their civil procedural law;

32.

Emphasises that Parliament should play a co-legislative role in the field of competition law and that it should be kept regularly informed on the bringing of private legal actions;

33.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission, the governments and parliaments of the Member States and the social partners.

Multilateral Agreement on the Establishment of a European Common Aviation Area

European Parliament resolution of 25 April 2007 on the proposal for a Council decision on the conclusion of the Multilateral Agreement between the Republic of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Bulgaria, the Republic of Croatia, the European Community, the Republic of Iceland, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the Kingdom of Norway, Serbia and Montenegro, Romania and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo on the Establishment of a European Common Aviation Area (ECAA)

The European Parliament,

having regard to the Commission proposal to the Council (COM(2006)0113) (1),

having regard to its resolution of 17 January 2006 on developing the agenda for the Community's external aviation policy (2),

having regard to Rule 103(2) of its Rules of Procedure,

A.

whereas, in view of its accession to the EU, Romania should be treated differently from the other States and whereas Bulgaria, despite its accession, is subject to a protective clause with regard to security interests and should therefore be treated like a third country,

B.

whereas the Council has adopted the provisional agreement as proposed by the Commission and whereas this provisional agreement awaits ratification by all parties,

C.

whereas the European Common Aviation Area (ECAA) agreement is important as a framework agreement for dealing with aviation-related issues with the countries of the Western Balkans, Iceland and Norway, in particular, and whereas it provides a model for future agreements of this kind with other third countries,

Environment

1.

Notes that it is important that the ECAA agreement should cover current and future EU legislation on emissions and other measures that will reduce the environmental impact of aviation;

2.

Welcomes the fact that the parties to the agreement accept that at some point in the future aviation may be included in emissions trading schemes (ETS);

3.

Stresses the importance of the agreement in terms of creating the conditions for enlarging the Single European Sky (SES) beyond Member States;

Safety and Security

4.

Underlines the importance, therefore, of technical assistance and accession negotiations as means of obtaining the necessary consensus with non-EU and non-EEA partners in order to attain this objective;

5.

Insists that all EU safety and security legislation and Regulation (EC) No 1107/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 July 2006 concerning the rights of disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility when travelling by air (3) must be included in the operational annex to the agreement;

6.

Notes that air traffic management is included in the agreement, a fact which is important from the point of view of applying the SES rules, such as those for developing transborder air space blocks;

7.

Welcomes the advantages of reciprocal and coherent application of the Safety Assessment contained in Directive 2004/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on the safety of third-country aircraft using Community airports (4) by all parties to the agreement;

8.

Recalls that achieving the SES objective also entails flexibility of airspace, which necessitates institutionalised cooperation between military and civil authorities in the field of air traffic control;

Social issues

9.

Welcomes the role of the European Aviation Safety Agency in training experts, preparing manuals and providing technical advice to partner countries, as well as in helping to establish implementation mechanisms;

10.

Stresses the fact that relevant EU social legislation must be complied with when implementing the agreement;

11.

Notes that the agreement provides for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 of 16 December 1991 on the harmonization of technical requirements and administrative procedures in the field of civil aviation (5);

12.

Notes that there must be prompt implementation of the commitments in the agreement and that a progress report must be submitted to the European Parliament by 31 December 2008;

13.

Calls on the Commission and the Council to ensure that the agreement reflects these key considerations and that arrangements for monitoring are established in connection with the implementation process;

Thematic Strategy on the sustainable use of natural resources

European Parliament resolution of 25 April 2007 on a Thematic Strategy for the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources (2006/2210(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to the communication from the Commission ‘Towards a Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources’ (COM(2003)0572),

having regard to the communication from the Commission ‘Thematic Strategy on the sustainable use of natural resources’ (COM(2005)0670),

having regard to the Review of the EU's Sustainable Development Strategy — Renewed Strategy (1),

having regard to the Convention on Biological Diversity adopted in Rio de Janeiro in 1992,

having regard to Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2001 on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment (2),

having regard to Articles 2 and 6 of the EC Treaty, which stipulate that environmental protection requirements are to be integrated into the various sectors of Community policy with a view to promoting environmentally sound development of economic activities,

having regard to Article 174 of the EC Treaty,

having regard to the Sixth Community Environment Action Programme (6th EAP) (3),

having regard to the communication from the Commission ‘Taking sustainable use of resources forward: A Thematic Strategy on the prevention and recycling of waste’ (COM(2005)0666),

having regard to its resolution of 5 July 2005 on the communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament on Stimulating Technologies for Sustainable Development: An Environmental Technologies Action Plan for the European Union (4),

having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (A6-0054/2007),

A.

whereas, in the decades ahead, rapid demographic change in the world will bring ever greater pressure to bear on the climate, natural resources and biodiversity, and whereas this evolution is also related to the disparity in prosperity between the industrialised world and developing countries,

B.

whereas sustainable economic development, combined with fair and equitable sharing of the benefits derived from natural resources and access to resources and markets are necessary to alleviate poverty and increase human well-being,

C.

whereas, because of the rapid growth of the world population, by 2010 an additional 400 million people will be living on Earth; whereas in a world in which mutual dependence is constantly increasing we cannot continue to produce and consume in the present way and whereas, worldwide, 15 500 species of plants and animals are seriously endangered; whereas in recent decades nearly all types of ecosystem and all species have already suffered very badly and whereas fresh water is also a valuable resource, which is under pressure; whereas the worldwide water crisis is a threat to human life and sustainable development and ultimately also to peace and security,

D.

whereas, worldwide, the average ecological footprint (5) is now 2.2 hectares per capita, although it should not exceed 1.8 hectares in order to remain within the limits of the Earth's biocapacity; whereas, worldwide, human beings are using 25 % more than the Earth produces in a year, or in other words, the Earth needs a year and three months to produce what we have used in a single year (2003) (WWF Eco-report 2006),

E.

whereas, according to the UN 2005 Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, there has been a decline in two thirds of all ecosystems since the beginning of the 1960s and whereas demand for natural resources has risen by 70 % over the same period,

F.

whereas according to the European Environment Agency, Europe's ecological footprint exceeded its own biocapacity in 1960 and is to date twice as large as its biocapacity; whereas this is not compatible with equitable sustainable development,

G.

whereas the failure so far to assign a value to natural capital, in particular ecosystem services, is a serious impediment in the overall efforts to establish a framework for sustainable use of natural resources,

H.

whereas the interests of commerce and the environment need not be in conflict; whereas, however, sustained economic prosperity in the future will only be possible in a market-based system in which all forms of capital, including natural capital, are fully valued, and the costs of damage to human health and the environment are fully internalised into product prices,

I.

whereas rising economic growth in developing countries will increase pressure on the environment still further,

J.

whereas progress in the field of know-how and technology is crucial in order to attain a balance between economic growth on the one hand and social and ecological sustainability on the other,

K.

whereas pursuant to Article 6 of the Treaty, bolstered by the Cardiff Process, environmental protection requirements must be integrated into the formulation and implementation of EU policy,

L.

whereas there is little complementarity and insufficient coordination between the different international fora responsible for sustainable development (Convention on Biological Diversity, Kyoto Protocol, Convention to Combat Desertification, etc.); whereas, furthermore, there are no tools to enforce these agreements worldwide,

M.

whereas the EU Strategy for Growth and Jobs (6) endorsed by the Spring Summit of 2005 gives high priority to more sustainable use of natural resources and calls for the EU to take the lead in the move towards more sustainable consumption and production in the global economy,

N.

whereas the guiding principles for sustainable development adopted by the European Council of 15/16 June 2006 should form the basis for sustainable development, particularly those relating to the quality of life and solidarity between and within generations,

O.

whereas, in its communication on the review of the EU Sustainable Development Strategy — a platform for action (COM(2005)0658), the Commission states that:

the EU and Member States must continue to invest in research and technology to find new costeffective and resource-efficient ways of production and consumption,

the EU must position itself as a world leader in eco-efficient and energy-saving technologies in order to reduce the high level of dependence on natural resources,

the EU must safeguard the earth's capacity to support life in all its diversity, respect the limits of the planet's natural resources and ensure a high level of protection and improvement of the quality of the environment,

by 2012, 12 % of Member States' energy consumption must come from renewable sources,

by 2010, 21 % of Member States' electricity consumption must be met by renewable sources,

P.

whereas in June 2006, the European Council demanded inter alia the following in the Renewed EU Sustainable Development Strategy:

the EU strategy on the sustainable use of natural resources should be complemented by a number of targets and measures at EU level,

to improve resource efficiency to reduce the overall use of non-renewable natural resources and the related environmental impacts of raw materials use, thereby using renewable natural resources at a rate that does not exceed their regeneration capacity,

Q.

whereas the 6th EAP:

lays down a programme whose objectives accord with the key priorities of the Community, namely climate change, nature and biodiversity, the environment, public health and the quality of life, natural resources and waste,

requires the promotion of changes to subsidy schemes which have a substantial adverse impact on the environment and are not compatible with sustainable development,

states that thematic strategies must include relevant qualitative and quantitative environmental objectives and timetables,

and inter alia explicitly asks for a review of the efficiency of policy measures and the impact of subsidies relating to natural resources and waste, as well as for the establishment of goals and targets for resource efficiency and the diminished use of resources, decoupling the link between economic growth and negative environmental impacts,

R.

whereas the Annex to the Thematic Strategy states that:

if an annual improvement in resource productivity of 3% is achieved, while the economy grows at 3% per year as well, resource use will be more or less stable,

everything else being equal, stabilising material use will not be enough to reduce economy-wide environmental impacts and achieve decoupling,

S.

whereas in its resolution of 16 November 2005 on Winning the Battle against Global Climate Change (7), the European Parliament stated that strong emission reductions, i.e. 30 % by 2020 and 60-80 % by 2050, need to be undertaken by developed countries,

T.

whereas agriculture uses 50 % of all land and consumes 30 % of all water and 20 % of all fuel,

U.

whereas transportation is the fastest growing end-use sector and is responsible for 40 % of all energy use worldwide and for approximately 40-80 % of all air pollution and for 28 % of all CO2 emissions in Europe,

V.

whereas an enhanced understanding of how natural systems work will open up new opportunities for ecologically sound production and consumption systems; whereas there are already more than 2000 patented technologies inspired by nature (‘biomimicry’),

W.

whereas one of the Millennium Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2000 was that of ensuring a sustainable environment before 2015 by integrating sustainable development into national policy and programmes, halting the loss of natural resources and halving the number of people without access to safe drinking water; whereas by 2020 the living conditions of at least 140 million slum-dwellers must be significantly improved,

X.

whereas every year between 5 and 6 million people — mainly children — die of diseases caused by water and air pollution; whereas 370 000 premature deaths are caused by air pollution in Europe,

Y.

whereas sustainable use of natural resources is a ‘conditio sine qua non’ for long-term prosperity,

Z.

whereas the basis of most environmental problems is the unsustainable use of natural resources,

AA.

whereas a transformation of the present system of production and consumption is urgently needed;

AB.

whereas society depends primarily on products made up of a set of different materials, i.e. biological, mineral and synthetic materials, which are often combined to produce composite materials, and whereas these materials ought to be used and handled in such a way that, when the useful life of the products is over, they do not become useless waste,

AC.

whereas by 2015 at the latest better management and avoidance of overexploitation of renewable natural resources such as fish stocks, biodiversity, water, air, soil and the atmosphere must result in the recovery of damaged marine ecosystems, in accordance with the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation adopted at the United Nations Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in 2002,

AD.

whereas our industrial system feeds on distant ecosystems by means of trade and is often insensitive to their degradation; whereas therefore the natural resource strategy must be based on the application of the ecological footprint methodology and have as a primary goal to reduce the ecological footprint of the EU in the world, and to take a leading role and encourage other non-EU countries to do the same,

AE.

whereas by 2010 at the latest the loss of biodiversity must be halted, in accordance with the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation,

AF.

whereas there are major disparities between Member States as regards the productivity of resources; whereas eliminating these disparities alone would mean that the improved productivity would reduce the amount of natural resources used and consequently reduce pressure on the environment and improve the competitive position of the Member States,

AG.

whereas economically developed and service orientated Member States have exported a large amount of their energy and natural resource consuming activities to less developed EU and non-EU countries; whereas the Commission should take into consideration that different Member States use different amounts of natural resource to reach the same economic growth rate,

AH.

whereas the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation also called for a decoupling of economic growth and environmental degradation by improving efficiency and sustainability in the use of resources and production processes and by reducing resource degradation, pollution and waste,

AI.

whereas the abovementioned European Union Environmental Technologies Action Plan:

notes that efficient use of resources and materials reduces costs to industry and households, thereby releasing funds and making the EU economy less dependent on scarce resources and highly unstable markets,

notes that scarce resources often cause regional conflicts in developing countries,

draws attention to the need to promote technologies which serve to prevent natural disasters or activities which can lead to the destruction of natural resources or damage to them,

AJ.

whereas a policy can only be implemented if the public and consumers are also encouraged to alter their consumption patterns to take account of environmental and health requirements;

1.

Takes reluctant note of the abovementioned communication from the Commission ‘Thematic Strategy on the sustainable use of natural resources’, and regrets the lack of a clear vision on how to meet the overall objective; considers that it should be seen as a first step in a process eventually leading to a comprehensive strategy for the sustainable use of natural resources;

2.

Considers that the Commission's action platform for the study of the Sustainable Development Strategy is too cautious and limited in scope and that, in its present form, it will not be able to persuade the public or political decision-makers to pursue the crucial goals for which it provides;

3.

Calls on the Commission to establish goals and targets at political and at sectoral level for resource efficiency, and speed up the work on appropriate tools to maintain progress;

4.

Notes with regret that the Thematic Strategy on the sustainable use of natural resources (Thematic Strategy) fails to pursue the objectives of the European Community's 6th EAP; considers that the objectives of the 6th EAP relating to the sustainable use of natural resources will remain unattained unless the concerted actions presented in the Thematic Strategy are made more effective; considers that this applies particularly to the objective of ensuring that the use of natural resources and their impact do not exceed the carrying capacity of the environment;

5.

Calls on the European Union to step up its efforts and take decisions with a view to becoming the most efficient economy in the world in terms of its use of resources and energy; stresses that the attainment of such aims would permit greater independence and security of supply of resources and energy and a decoupling of economic growth from the exploitation of natural resources;

6.

Stresses that pollution, the increasing scarcity of natural resources and raw materials and the increasing difficulty of gaining access to them constitute a threat to the conservation of biodiversity and will cause price rises on such a scale as to more or less completely destabilise the economic and social systems of the European Union and third countries, and will give rise to risks of conflict; urges the Commission and the European Union to respond in ways commensurate with the situation;

7.

Considers that, even if there is a need for more specific data in certain fields, this should not be taken as an excuse for postponing measures which need to be taken to ensure sustainable use of natural resources; notes, furthermore, that the knowledge currently available is sufficient to permit practical action to be taken now to improve the sustainable consumption of natural resources;

8.

Stresses the essential objectives of sustainable use of natural resources, including a high level of protection of the environment and public health, the availability of natural resources for future generations, a contribution to the stability and prosperity of our economic and social system and limiting the use of resources in order to reduce and stabilise environmental impact;

9.

Considers that the Commission should take Parliament, European public opinion and the environment seriously, and calls on the Commission to set binding targets and timetables for natural resources in the following way:

(a)

to develop and implement best practices for every production chain,

(b)

to achieve a quantitative greenhouse gas reduction of at least 30 % by 2020 and of 80 % by 2050 against 1990 levels;

10.

Encourages the Commission to define best practices for the major product groups, starting with the ‘top-ten’ (defined by the Commission), to be completed within three years. The Data Centre for Natural Resources (proposed in the Thematic Strategy) shall be responsible for defining best practices;

11.

Encourages the Commission to propose Community policies in order to:

foster stakeholder interaction and promote application of life-cycle assessments (LCA) and/or other methods among companies and provide information upon request,

develop CO2 targets on a national and a sectoral basis;

12.

Considers that the Thematic Strategy should include guidelines explaining the necessary measures for certain sectors and required changes proposed for policies to reach a sustainable or more efficient resource use;

13.

Considers that, by postponing practical action, the EU will surrender its competitive position in the field of innovation and trade in new eco-efficient technologies;

14.

Considers that the European Union should take the lead in the search for innovative solutions and in promoting more efficient use of resources, and that it should aim to be the world leader in eco-efficient technologies; notes that the market for sustainable products will have to grow in order to meet the increasing demand from a rapidly growing ‘middle class’ for consumer goods and services which respect regional and global carrying capacity;

15.

Welcomes the acknowledgement by the Commission that policy on the sustainable use of natural resources has so far proven inadequate;

16.

While acknowledging that working towards the sustainable use of natural resources is a long-term process, considers that a time horizon of 25 years as outlined in the Commission's communication is too long;

17.

Welcomes the Commission's focus on life-cycle thinking throughout the Communication and encourages the Commission to follow this approach through to concrete policy action;

18.

Stresses that R&D efforts must be geared towards enhancing our understanding of how natural systems work so as to structure production and consumption systems along biological lines, thereby improving resource productivity and reducing pollution;

19.

Considers the establishment of a European Data Centre before 2008 to be useful if its remit is to periodically assess and optimise the known indicators and in addition to establish which further indicators are still needed to facilitate the pursuit of the urgent objective of reducing the environmental and health impact of the use of natural resources to a minimum;

20.

Does not agree with the Commission that no indicators are known which would enable specific, clear and time-tabled objectives to be included in the Thematic Strategy now; notes that indicators which are already known include GDP (Gross Domestic Product), DMI (Direct Material Input) and DMC (Domestic Material Consumption); other indicators as available and detailed as the ones mentioned above would be related to various aspects of the quality of life, such as public health conditions, social inclusion, social awareness of decision-making processes and an environmental ‘footprint’; the challenge would be to improve the quality of life by pursuing more immaterial goals with the support of information and communication technologies, and in general less demanding technologies, and therefore reducing the pressure on natural resources;

21.

Proposes that the Commission perform within three years an assessment regarding the possibilities and the instruments for decoupling natural resource use from economic growth. The revised Thematic Strategy should include these decoupling instruments. This approach should also be implemented in the revision of existing policies;

22.

Stresses the need to develop a complement to the GDP — focusing on the qualitative aspects of growth — and in this process specifically develop methodologies to assign a value to natural capital;

23.

Considers that, if reductions in the use of natural resources are accompanied by a switch to an alternative, research should first be conducted into the environmental impact of the alternative in question;

24.

Calls on the EU to ensure that all Community instruments and legislation contribute overall to the conservation of natural resources and the pursuit of sustainable development in the EU and countries outside the EU; the EU should encourage the establishment of resource strategies in non-EU countries, which should also be reflected in its funds and aid policy;

25.

Considers it important to tackle not only Community use (use within the EU) of natural resources but also imports of resources from third countries;

26.

Stresses the need to address the obvious shortcomings of the current economic model with regard to assigning a value to ecosystem services, and to present a policy framework giving priority to resource efficiency and production systems progressively structured along biological lines;

27.

Considers that by 2030 the use of primary non-renewable resources in the EU must be reduced by a factor of 4, or the use of natural resources must be halved by 2030 while simultaneously increasing worldwide prosperity; notes that the following indicators can be used: TMR (Total Material Requirement), DMI (Domestic Material Input) and DMC (Direct Material Consumption); notes that these indicators show what quantities of resources are used in an economy and that by dividing GDP by these indicators it is possible to measure the productivity of natural resource use;

28.

Agrees that at present there are very few aggregated impact indicators that are already widely accepted for measuring the progress of reductions in the environmental impact of resource use, the so-called eco-efficiency indicator; considers that these need to be finalised as soon as possible and at the latest by 2008; notes that in this respect the further development of ‘environmentally weighted material consumption’ (EMC) should be actively supported;

29.

Considers that market instruments and subsidies, particularly of a fiscal nature, can be used to reduce the use of environmentally damaging resources, particularly by means of a re-allocation of subsidies and by reducing in stages, but quickly, any subsidies to unsustainable activities and supporting the introduction of ecotaxes; abolishing harmful subsidies on resource use should be incorporated in the Commission's preparation of a roadmap as demanded in the Sustainable Development Strategy;

30.

Considers that a re-allocation of subsidies, for example more subsidies for small-scale hydroelectric power, as well as for wind power and solar energy, would promote the use of new technologies and improve Europe's competitive position in the world, as well as reducing dependence on fossil fuels imported from other parts of the world;

31.

Notes that the decoupling of economic growth and improvement of the efficiency of resource use is already regarded as a political objective in nine Member States (including Germany and Finland) and Japan; considers that relative decoupling is not sufficient, given that absolute consumption of natural resources remains too high; stresses therefore that a political programme relating to the sustainable use of natural resources should concentrate on decoupling of economic growth from the use of natural resources that brings about an absolute reduction both in the resources used and in the environmental impact of resource use;

32.

Stresses that the EU should adopt a clear target for the absolute reduction of resource use, given that the analysis in the Annex to the Thematic Strategy indicates that we need to go beyond a 3% annual resource efficiency improvement, and that halving resource use in the period 2005-2030 requires almost 6% annual resource efficiency improvement;

33.

Considers that the adverse impact of the total use of resources in the EU per category of resource must be halved, for example by means of a sectoral approach in the construction industry, transport and other sectors, in order to reduce the impact of the use of these resources and dependence on them;

34.

Considers that the Thematic Strategy should aim to make more efficient use of natural resources, improve their management and the management of waste, adopt more sustainable methods of production and patterns of consumption, and ensure that the use of natural resources does not exceed the potential burden which the environment can withstand;

35.

Proposes that targets be set for resource use reduction in the following sectors: food, housing and transport, as according to recent studies these cause the highest negative impacts;

36.

Therefore calls on the Commission to undertake three key actions:

(a)

identify and develop specific policies and actions for the top 20 resources (materials) with the largest impacts; these should be proposed at the latest by 2008,

(b)

prepare stakeholder dialogues on the most resource-intensive extraction and production sectors in order to identify sectoral targets and appropriate measures for improving resource efficiency,

(c)

develop benchmark criteria for sustainable management and harvesting of biotic resources (e.g. wood, fish, agricultural products);

37.

Calls on the Commission to actively encourage the development of new models of offering products through, for example, product service systems, providing utility to consumers through the use of services rather than products, thereby optimising the use of both energy and materials;

38.

Stresses that efforts to use natural resources more efficiently must be implemented with full attention being paid to the impact of trade and have as a goal to progressively reduce the ecological footprint of the EU in the world;

39.

Considers that the Thematic Strategy should be integrated at various levels of policy and across all relevant policy areas; to this end EU waste prevention, re-use and recycling targets must play a fundamental role;

40.

Asks the Commission to promote technologies focusing on durable, repairable, re-usable and recyclable products;

41.

Considers that repair and re-use of products extends the product life and is a sustainable measure to achieve a reduction in waste generation and to increase resource conservation; therefore asks the Commission and the Member States to actively encourage a ‘re-use society’ by educational, economic and structural measures, such as support to re-use and repair organisations and networks;

42.

Supports the Thematic Strategy's approach to analyse existing policies to raise the Strategy's effectiveness, but proposes to select already in this phase the most relevant existing policies and the ones under preparation (e.g. Thematic Strategy on the Prevention and Recycling of Waste, Integrated Product Policy); the Thematic Strategy should be consistent with the Lisbon objectives as well;

43.

Proposes the identification of the deficiencies in current European policies which hamper the sustainable use of natural resources;

44.

Notes that the Commission envisages a regular review of the Thematic Strategy beginning in 2010 and continuing every five years thereafter; considers this to be of value but stresses the need for this review to include proper analysis of actions taken towards achieving the sustainable use of natural resources and to take into account the constant need for policy in this area to evolve in relation to scientific developments; the review should also examine the effects in third countries of actions undertaken at EU level;

45.

Considers that agricultural policy, in particular, should be geared partly to reducing pressure on the environment by means of the sustainable use of natural resources including, but not confined to, land, water and fuels;

46.

Stresses the importance of the global dimension of European policy on the sustainable use of natural resources and the need to ensure that any move towards sustainable resource use in Europe does not lead to increased environmental impacts in third countries;

47.

Considers that, in agriculture, genuine progress needs to be made in research into ecological production methods, regulation and monitoring relating, inter alia, to the use of fertilisers, pesticides and water, promotion of short chains, internalising external costs and attaching environmental conditions to economic support;

48.

Considers that the pioneering role and responsible use of natural resources in organic and sustainable farming should be acknowledged and supported;

49.

Considers that, as various fish species are currently among the most threatened long-term resources, and as the disappearance of species may result in further ecological changes, a responsible and strict fisheries policy is called for;

50.

Considers that the Member States must implement the EU's biodiversity strategy, both in fisheries and in other fields, and, in cooperation with the Commission, must take measures to attain the objective of halting the decline of biodiversity by 2010;

51.

Welcomes the proposal for the international panel which will include participants from developing countries and which will, inter alia, develop sustainability benchmarks for extracting, harvesting and transporting materials and products coming from outside the EU, including not only material quality standards but also production quality standards, taking account of social and environmental issues;

52.

Stresses the need for aid to developing countries, to non-EU Eastern European and West Balkan countries, by means of, but not confined to, sharing technology and know-how; adds that Europe cannot decently import biocapacity from other countries without the sustainable use of resources likewise becoming an objective for those countries and without ensuring that it is not importing resources which are overexploited or threatened;

53.

Considers that developing countries should be helped to meet EU standards and labelling requirements;

54.

Stresses the importance to this Thematic Strategy of the requirement already incorporated in other policy strategies that by 2010 an average of 12 % of energy consumption within the EU and 21 % of electricity consumption within the EU should be derived from sustainable natural resources, and that the lower of these figures should rise to 15 % by 2015;

55.

Aims to align the EU norm for green public procurement with the standard currently achieved by the Member State which performs best;

56.

Considers, in line with policy on renewable energy consumption, that by 2010 an average of at least 12 % of the renewable raw materials used in the EU should be derived from sources which are demonstrably managed sustainably, a figure which should rise to at least 15 % in 2015; at the same time underlines the importance of the EU target of 20 % energy savings by 2020;

57.

Considers that the EU should do everything possible to provide consumers and producers with proper information on the sustainable use of natural resources, that environmental education, particularly concerning sustainable consumption, should form part of elementary education, and that consumers and producers should be involved in ideas concerning changes which could lead to sustainable use of natural resources;

58.

Considers that producers should supply information to the public on the origin and production methods of their products and services and the production chains involved, including information about the environmental impact throughout the cycle through which the product and the resources used in the production process pass; as well as the extent to which the product is repairable, re-usable and recyclable;

59.

Considers that EU policy should be so framed as to encourage Member States to adopt more ambitious approaches — and certainly not discourage them from doing so — with a view to improving the sustainable use of natural resources;

60.

Considers that the Commission should submit by 2008 a roadmap for reform, per sector, of subsidy schemes which have a substantial adverse impact on the environment and are difficult to reconcile with sustainable development, with a view to their gradual abolition;

61.

Welcomes any Commission initiatives which could result in the sustainable use of natural resources and reduce the adverse impact of the use of natural resources on the environment;

62.

Draws attention to the need to improve communication between retailers and consumers; calls on the Commission in this connection to extend the present energy label (refrigerators, cars, buildings) to all energy using product groups by 2010;

63.

Proposes that the Commission develop, within three years, a methodology to measure the environmental impact of every production chain;

64.

Proposes that the Commission monitor on a three-yearly basis the progress in improving resource efficiency;

65.

Recommends using the international panel (proposed in the Thematic Strategy) to extend best practices and CO2 targets to global level;

66.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council and Commission.

Transatlantic relations

European Parliament resolution of 25 April 2007 on transatlantic relations

The European Parliament,

having regard to its previous resolutions on transatlantic relations, in particular its two resolutions of 1 June 2006 on improving EU-US relations in the framework of a Transatlantic Partnership Agreement (1) and on EU-US transatlantic economic relations (2),

having regard to the EU-US Declaration on Combating Terrorism of 26 June 2004 and Declaration on Enhancing Cooperation in the field of Non Proliferation and the Fight Against Terrorism of 20 June 2005,

having regard to the outcome of the EU-US Summit held on 21 June 2006 in Vienna,

having regard to the forthcoming EU-US Summit to be held on 30 April 2007 in Washington,

having regard to Rule 103(4) of its Rules of Procedure,

A.

whereas partnership between the EU and the US, based on the shared values of freedom, democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights, is the cornerstone of security and stability in the Euro-Atlantic area,

B.

whereas, in the fight against international terrorism, it is necessary to stress the importance of fully respecting international law and treaties regarding human rights and fundamental freedoms,

C.

whereas the ongoing situation at Guantanamo Bay and the CIA's secret detention programme are creating tensions in transatlantic relations, since the EU cannot accept those legal irregularities, which undermine the most fundamental values of the rule of law,

D.

whereas the global political and economic order is currently undergoing major changes, giving rise to significant political and economic challenges and posing serious security, social and environmental threats,

E.

whereas the current situation in the Middle East calls for strong cooperation between the EU and the US in the framework of the Quartet and with the League of Arab States (LAS) in order to bring more stability to the region by promoting peace, democracy and respect for human rights,

F.

whereas a strong and functioning partnership between the EU and the US is a vital tool for shaping global development in the interests of common values on the basis of effective multilateralism and international law; whereas strong and consistent political leadership is required to enable the partners to attain that goal,

G.

whereas the US is still unwilling to extend the Visa Waiver Programme and is continuing to impose, on a non-reciprocal basis, a visa requirement on citizens of the eleven new EU Member States, as well as Greece, thereby weakening transatlantic ties and perpetuating inequality among EU citizens,

H.

whereas the transatlantic market, comprising, as it does, the largest bilateral trade and investment relationship in the world, provides employment for 14 million people in the EU and the US, accounts for 40 % of world trade and remains the engine of the world economy,

I.

whereas, given their role in the world economy, the transatlantic partners share responsibility for shaping global development and governance in the interest of common values, through effective multilateralism, in order to share prosperity more equally and to address successfully global challenges such as security, global economic governance, the environment and poverty reduction,

J.

whereas a cooperative transatlantic economic relationship is in the mutual interest of the EU and the US and consistent political leadership is needed to strengthen the transatlantic market; supports the German Presidency, therefore, in its effort to make real progress, at the upcoming Summit, in substantially strengthening regulatory cooperation,

K.

whereas the US Senate unanimously adopted a resolution on 9 December 2006 urging both transatlantic partners to work together to strengthen the transatlantic market and to show leadership at the 2007 EU-US Summit in agreeing to set a date for completing the transatlantic market,

L.

whereas financial services are a crucial issue for EU-US relations; whereas further enhanced cooperation, regulatory convergence and a level playing field between the US and the EU in the regulation of financial services are in the interest of both parties,

Political, security and human rights issues

1.

Welcomes the improvement in EU-US relations on an equal basis; believes that this positive backdrop offers serious opportunities for the EU and US to work closely together on a wide range of policy challenges of common concern, notably in the common approach to the Western Balkans, the South Caucasus region, Central Asia, the Middle East, Afghanistan, the Mediterranean, Latin America and Africa;

2.

Calls on the Council and the US administration to intensify efforts, within the framework of the Middle East Quartet, to foster negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians for a comprehensive peace solution on the basis of two secure and viable states; supports the Quartet's call for continued international assistance to the Palestinian people; is of the view that every effort should be made to stabilise the situation in Lebanon; welcomes the re-launch of the Plan adopted by the LAS at the Riyadh Summit, welcomes the formation of the Palestinian national unity government and urges both transatlantic partners to engage in a constructive dialogue with it, taking into account the position of the Council;

3.

Welcomes the recent visits to Damascus by high-ranking American and European politicians; calls for concerted EU-US action to be taken in order to test Syria's unconditional willingness to restart negotiations with Israel and cooperate constructively with the international community;

4.

Welcomes the close cooperation between the EU and the US on the Iranian nuclear issue and encourages both partners to continue cooperation in strengthening the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and establishing a comprehensive system of international agreements on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in order to jointly reinforce the Non-Proliferation Treaty as a key element in preventing the spread of nuclear weapons;

5.

Deplores the announcement by Iran that it intends to begin uranium enrichment on an industrial scale, since such a step would directly oppose the repeated requests by the IAEA Board of Governors and the binding calls on Iran by the UN Security Council, in Resolutions 1737(2006) and 1747(2007), to suspend all enrichment-related activities,

6.

Believes that fighting terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction remain the greatest security challenges for both partners; stresses therefore the need for both sides to reinforce their collaboration in that field and to support the role that the UN must play in combating both challenges;

7.

Believes that it is necessary to define, with the US, a common and shared framework to safeguard the guarantees that are needed in the special EU-US partnership in the fight against terrorism, which could also deal with all aspects concerning the free movement of persons between the EU and the US; considers that, from that perspective, contacts should be strengthened between Parliament and Congress;

8.

Recognises that the sharing of data and information is a valuable tool in the international fight against terrorism and related crime, but stresses that strong data protection guarantees would facilitate data sharing while ensuring protection of privacy, and that such data sharing would in any case need to be based on one or more international agreements similar in structure to the EC/US agreement on judicial cooperation in criminal matters and extradition, which is currently being examined by Congress;

9.

Strongly regrets that the agreements on Passenger Name Records, SWIFT and the existence of the US Automated Targeting System have led to a situation of legal uncertainty with regard to the necessary data protection guarantees for data sharing and transfer between the EU and the US for the purposes of ensuring public security and, in particular, preventing and fighting terrorism; stresses that data should be exchanged where necessary in accordance with the existing EU-US agreement on mutual legal assistance and extradition and in compliance with EC and EU data protection legislation; believes that the sharing of personal data must take place on a proper legal basis, linked to clear rules and conditions, and must be covered by adequate protection of the privacy and civil liberties of individual citizens;

10.

Calls on the US and all other countries which apply entry visas to selected EU Member States to immediately lift the visa regime and to treat all citizens of EU Member States equally; regrets the inclusion of an additional ‘information sharing clause’ (a PNR clause) in the proposed changes to the US Visa Waiver Programme;

11.

Highlights the fact that many of the measures contained in the legislative proposal ‘Improving America's Security Act’ of 2007, when adopted by the US Congress, will have a direct impact on EU countries, in particular concerning police and judicial cooperation in the fight against terrorism and the protection of fundamental rights and guarantees;

12.

Welcomes the commitment shown by Vice-President F. Frattini to launching a Euro-Atlantic cooperation framework in the fight against international terrorism, with harmonised rules on the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms; requests the Commission to continue those efforts and to fully involve Parliament in that initiative;

13.

Notes the newly created High-Level Working Group composed of representatives of the Commission, the Council and US governmental representatives of the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, which constitutes the framework for EU-US dialogue on security matters; so as to give greater democratic legitimacy to this dialogue, calls for the European Parliament to be involved;

14.

Recalls the resolutions of Parliament calling for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention centre; calls on the Council and the Commission to urge the US Government to find a mechanism that will facilitate the charging or releasing of detainees in accordance with international law; is concerned that the very existence of the Guantanamo Bay detention centre continues to send out a negative signal as to how the fight against terrorism is being pursued; urges the Council to issue a clear and forceful declaration calling on the US Government to put an end to the practice of extraordinary arrests and renditions and that the US Government be requested for clarifications regarding the existence of secret prisons outside US territory;

15.

Reiterates the view that NATO, which remains an important tie between many European countries and the US and a guarantor of European security, should develop its potential as a transatlantic forum for political debate in a true partnership of equals;

16.

Welcomes the close cooperation between the US and the EU on the status negotiations in Kosovo and highlights the need to find a balanced and viable outcome on Kosovo's future status; encourages both partners to use the EU-US Summit, to be held on 30 April 2007 in Washington, to endorse their consensus on the Ahtisaari Plan and to continue their dialogue with all parties concerned; recommends, to this end, a closer security relationship between NATO and the EU, in particular in view of the situation in Kosovo, where the EU will take over from United Nations Mission in Kosovo while some 16 000 NATO troops will remain; believes that a stronger EU-US partnership will complement rather than undermine that relationship;

17.

Calls on the US to redouble its efforts to consult and explain its planned missile defence system within NATO in order to allow the Alliance and Europe to remain united, resist foreign pressure and steer clear of disagreement in different areas of security; stresses the importance of consulting on the system within the NATO-Russia Council; stresses that the US system should be coordinated and interoperable with NATO's Theatre Ballistic Missile Defence (TBMD) system;

18.

Calls on the EU Presidency and the US Government to signal to the President of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz, that his withdrawal from the post would be a welcome step towards preventing the Bank's anti-corruption policy from being undermined;

Economic and Trade Issues

19.

Stresses that during the upcoming EU-US Summit new impetus should be given to transatlantic relations by updating the New Transatlantic Agenda;

20.

Strongly supports the initiative by the German Presidency of the European Council to launch a New Transatlantic Economic Partnership, with a road map for achieving a barrier-free transatlantic market, to strengthen the position of both partners in global competition and enable them to better use the potential of their economies, without undermining multilateral trade negotiations, including the Doha Round;

21.

Calls on the Presidents of the European Council, the Commission and the USA to use the upcoming EU-US Summit to initiate the negotiation of a new Transatlantic Partnership Agreement, including a strengthened transatlantic market between the EU and the US, covering investment, intellectual property, innovation, public procurement and the relationship between trade and security; calls for both partners to launch negotiations on an effective Agreement on Regulatory Cooperation, including common methodologies, measures to minimise future regulatory divergence, commitments to engage regulatory agencies and measures to engage industries, labour unions and consumer groups; urges that legislators on both sides be systematically involved in the negotiations;

22.

Insists that the negotiations on a barrier-free transatlantic market place must not lead to a downward harmonisation of social, environmental and health standards and must maintain the autonomy and integrity of the EU's competition policy and its rules on the protection of public services and cultural diversity;

23.

Is concerned about the potentially dangerous impact of the growing US federal current account deficit on the global economy and the stability of international currency markets; strongly encourages partners to commit themselves to avoiding excessive deficits, which exacerbate international imbalances;

24.

Welcomes the decision of the German G8 presidency to put the problem of international capital market regulation on the agenda for the next G8 summit; expresses its concern that the US has unilaterally announced new principles for private capital pools, which are based on non-binding transparency measures; requests the Commission to ensure equivalent ownership rights in each other's territory for enterprises; strongly believes that a dialogue on hedge funds and private equities should be engaged in view of the systemic risk their activities represent and the growing debate over their wider social and economic consequences; requests the Commission what it will do in this respect, bearing in mind that the US is preparing proposals; recalls that two-thirds of hedge and private equity funds are based in off-shore centres and therefore asks that their fiscal implications be examined;

25.

Stresses the importance of converging supervisory practices with regard to transatlantic consolidation of stock exchanges; reiterates its request, therefore, for the enhancement of the Financial Markets Regulatory Dialogue via a bi-annual policy review of transatlantic financial services before and after every annual EU-US summit; urges the US-EU Summit to agree on the mutual recognition of accounting standards, based on reliable regulatory supervision; highlights the importance of US implementation of the Basel II Accord on Capital Requirements and of recognition, by the Securities and Exchange Commission, of International Financial Reporting Standards; reiterates with regret the need for EU reinsurers facing highly discriminatory State rules in the US to fully collateralise risks; calls therefore on the US-EU Summit to agree on further transatlantic mutual recognition and uniform solvency and reporting requirements; asks the Commission to ensure that transatlantic mergers and/or purchases of stock exchanges and other financial institutions will not, directly or indirectly, lead to US laws, regulations, or supervisory practices being unilaterally imposed within the EU;

26.

Calls on both sides to bring the WTO Doha Development Agenda to a successful conclusion with full respect for the development dimension; urges the EU and the US, therefore, to declare at the 2007 Summit their full commitment to working towards a positive breakthrough by Summer 2007 and, in addition to their market access and services objectives, to agree a joint approach to promoting enforceable International Labour Organization's core labour standards in the WTO and in bilateral trade agreements, to restate their commitment to the Green Box subsidies in agriculture, together with a common strategy on cross-compliance, bio-fuels, animal welfare, animal health and avian flu, and to underline the importance of the EU-US wine agreement;

27.

Requests the Council and the Commission to discuss with the transatlantic partners how to make progress in the matter of developing countries' access to medicines, and to oppose vigorously the initiative of the US to include in all bilateral agreements, negotiated with developing countries, clauses by which those countries renounce the use of the provision of the Doha Agreement that allows them to produce and import generic drugs needed to tackle major public health problems (AIDS, tuberculosis, etc); is concerned, nevertheless, that Congress's intention to authorise parallel imports of medicines from EU Member States may create obstacles to their availability to EU patients and could encourage counterfeiting; requests the EU, therefore, to raise that issue at the next Summit;

28.

Considers that the EU and the US, representing 38 % of world energy consumption, should take the lead through joint efforts to develop alternative energy production and energy efficiency; calls, therefore, on both partners to strengthen their cooperation on energy, energy security and environmental sustainability, to establish a stable and predictable global energy market based on market rules and to seek to include provisions governing energy trade in WTO regulations;

29.

Insists, in this context, on the specific responsibility of developed countries to take the lead in reducing emissions; urges the US to reconsider its position as regards ratification of the Kyoto Protocol; calls, moreover, on the US to take vigorous domestic measures leading to absolute emission reductions and to play an active role in future international negotiations with a view to participating in the future climate change regime; welcomes regional cap-and-trade initiatives in the US and activities at state level leading to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; urges the US administration, the Commission, the Council and the Member States urgently to adopt effective measures in order to reduce the impact of aviation on climate change; calls for climate change to be regularly raised at interparliamentary delegation level and in the context of the Transatlantic Legislative Dialogue;

30.

Expects the upcoming EU-US Summit to prepare the ground for a G8 Summit agreement in June for launching a post-Kyoto emissions regime that would involve the US and key emerging economies like China, Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa and Indonesia, with, among other things, an effective system of carbon emissions trading and the promotion of new technologies;

31.

Welcomes the Joint EU-US Action Strategy for the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights adopted at the 2006 EU-US Summit; recommends a review of the patent reform process by both sides;

32.

Renews its request to the Commission (3), to investigate, as a matter of urgency, the fact that EU companies and sectors with operations in the US, not covered by the Safe Harbour agreement, may currently be forced to make personal data available to US authorities, in particular US branches of European banks, insurance companies, social security institutions and providers of telecoms services;

33.

Encourages the US Administration, the EU Presidency and the Commission to sign the Air Transport Agreement of 2 March 2007 between the US Administration and the EU Commission at the upcoming Summit as the first stage agreement for renewed cooperation between the US and the EU in the very important Transatlantic Aviation Area; hopes that the US will soon ratify that agreement and encourages both sides to start the negotiations for the second stage agreement as soon as possible;

34.

Calls on the European and American partners to take account in their economic relations of the role and special features of the cultural and educational sectors;

Institutional framework and role of Parliament

35.

Emphasises that only the wider involvement, at all levels, of Congress and the Parliament will make it possible to truly improve the whole process and that the existing interparliamentary exchange should be gradually transformed into a de facto ‘Transatlantic Assembly’;

36.

Calls on the upcoming EU-US Summit to support the parliamentary dimension of the transatlantic partnership, to enhance the role of legislators in the dialogue between the EU and the US, and to involve civil society from both sides of the Atlantic more closely;

37.

Stresses its commitment to continue contributing to the strength and stability of the Transatlantic Partnership through its engagement in the Transatlantic Legislators' Dialogue; supports the effort to establish a legislative early-warning system between the European Parliament and the US Congress;

38.

Urges the EU-US Summit to agree to an adequate level of parliamentary participation in the EU-US Summits and calls for a meeting prior to every summit between the Transatlantic Legislators' Dialogue and the Senior-Level Group to exchange views on the progress of the Work Programme and the preparations for the Summit; reiterates the need to create a stable institutional parliamentary framework;

39.

Requests the Commission to discuss with the relevant EP committees its negotiating strategy before engaging in negotiations with its US counterparts, when those negotiations tackle legislative issues;

40.

Calls on its relevant committee to use the budget for 2007 to provide the necessary funds for establishing a permanent European Parliament official post in Washington DC that ensures proper institutionalisation of Parliament's own activities and allows for an improvement in liaisons between the European Parliament and the US Congress;

*

Progress report on Croatia

European Parliament resolution of 25 April 2007 on Croatia's 2006 progress report (2006/2288(INI))

The European Parliament,

having regard to the decision by the Council on 3 October 2005 to open accession negotiations with Croatia,

having regard to the Croatia 2006 Progress Report, published by the Commission on 8 November 2006 (SEC(2006)1385),

having regard to the recommendations of the EU-Croatia Joint Parliamentary Committee of 3-4 October 2006,

having regard to the European Council's Presidency Conclusions of 14-15 December 2006,

having regard to its resolution of 13 December 2006 on the Commission's Communication on the Enlargement Strategy and Main Challenges 2006-2007 (1),

having regard to the recommendations of the EU-Croatia Joint Parliamentary Committee of 20 and 21 March 2007,

having regard to Rule 45 of its Rules of Procedure,

having regard to the report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (A6-0092/2007),

A.

whereas Croatia has continued to make good progress in terms of the political, economic and acquis criteria and should be congratulated on the important steps taken in many fields to adapt its legislation in the light of the screening exercise,

B.

whereas, provided that Croatia addresses the outstanding challenges and develops adequate administrative capacity, negotiations should continue at a sustained pace and should lead, as soon as all the criteria have been met and the negotiations are completed, to a timely accession of Croatia to the European Union,

C.

whereas Croatia should do its outmost to carry out the necessary reforms so that the negotiations can be concluded in time for the European Parliament to give its assent before the next EU parliamentary election in June 2009,

D.

whereas Croatia's accession prospects have a regional dimension since they are a tangible sign that, in accordance with the conclusions of the 2003 Thessaloniki European Council, the future of all Western Balkans countries really lies in the European Union, as confirmed in various resolutions of the European Parliament,

E.

whereas Croatia is expressly supporting the European aspirations of its neighbours,

F.

whereas lessons from past enlargements show that each country should be judged on its own merits, that the pace of accession negotiations should be dictated by effective compliance with the Copenhagen criteria and that the degree of compliance with such criteria should also determine the final date of accession,

G.

whereas the Treaty of Nice does not provide an adequate basis for further enlargements, and whereas the essential substance of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe should therefore enter into force by the end of 2008, in order to create the necessary conditions for future enlargements and enable the Union to work more effectively, more transparently and more democratically, this being a prerequisite for further enlargements; whereas, moreover, the Commission and the Council must work intensively on creating the necessary preconditions for enlargement — and specifically for Croatia's accession to the EU,

H.

whereas responsibility for ensuring the European Union's capacity for further successful enlargement lies with the Union and not with the candidate countries,

I.

whereas the joint screening process was successfully completed in October 2006 and bilateral negotiations with Croatia could subsequently start on specific aspects of the acquis,

J.

whereas so far six different chapters of the acquis have been opened and two, concerning science and research and education and culture, have been provisionally closed,

K.

whereas the Commission has already made use of benchmarks in order to monitor progress by the Croatian authorities in crucial and sensitive areas such as competition policy, public procurement, the free movement of capital, justice, freedom and security, social policy and employment,

L.

whereas Croatia's efforts to meet the accession criteria need to be sustained and matched by effective implementation measures and adequate monitoring mechanisms,

M.

whereas a thorough reform of the public administration and the judiciary, together with the police, is central to, and a necessary condition for, achieving the standards required for EU accession,

N.

whereas a thorough and objective analysis of the region's recent history, true reconciliation between the different peoples and the establishment of good neighbourly relations can substantially contribute to a genuine European integration process,

O.

whereas the prosecution of war crimes and the reintegration of refugees and displaced persons are fundamental elements of the reconciliation process;

1.

Notes that Croatia has already made considerable progress on the way to EU accession;

2.

Considers, in line with the Commission's communication on Enlargement Strategy and Main Challenges 2006-2007 (COM(2006)0649), that Croatia continues to meet the political criteria for accession and can be regarded as a functioning market economy that should be able to cope with competitive pressures and market forces within the Union in the medium term, provided that it vigorously implements its reform programme so as to remove the significant remaining weaknesses;

3.

Congratulates the Croatian authorities on the rapid progress made so far in accession negotiations, particularly in the adoption of key pieces of legislation in crucial areas such as public administration, the administration of courts and anti-corruption policy;

4.

Supports the government and opposition in their efforts, despite the forthcoming elections, to take necessary, albeit sometimes difficult decisions, particularly in the field of competition policy and state aid, and points out that those decisions will ultimately benefit all Croatian citizens;

5.

Asks the Croatian government to strengthen its capacity to implement laws transposed from the acquis communautaire into national legislation in all fields, especially in the area of the environment;

6.

In this regard, urges the Croatian authorities to take into due consideration the concerns raised by local communities and public opinion with regard to controversial industrial projects which might pose a threat to the environment or public health, and calls on them to set up a clear and transparent procedure whereby all stakeholders, and not merely investors, can be informed and consulted;

7.

Invites the Croatian government in this regard to fully respect and implement international documents such as the Aarhus Convention and to eventually ratify the Kyoto Protocol in accordance with the most recent EU environmental strategies;

8.

Is concerned by flagging public support for EU accession in Croatia and welcomes the fact that the Government and the opposition are joining forces in explaining to the public the economic, political, social and cultural benefits resulting from the accession process; calls on the Commission to intensify its own information activities concerning the above-mentioned benefits;

9.

Emphasises the need to implement rapidly and effectively the reforms adopted so far in order to further modernise Croatia and thereby to further strengthen and stabilise democracy and the social market economy; in this respect:

(a)

notes that the provisions in the Civil Service Act introducing transparency and objectivity in the appointment and assessment of civil servants will not enter into force until after the next election; further notes that this decision could create an impression of delay in this important area and thereby encourage the view that the government's determination to reform public administration is less than wholehearted, even though the ending of political interference in the civil service is of the highest importance to the present government;

(b)

notes the commitment of the Croatian Minister for Justice to pursue the rationalisation, as announced, of the number of courts operating in the country, in order to make them more professional and efficient; reminds the Minister that this process must go hand in hand with the establishment of adequate procedures and criteria for appointing and assessing judicial staff aimed at providing sufficient guarantees for a professional and independent judiciary; welcomes in this respect the establishment of a working party for the development of new framework criteria for the assessment of judges and the amendment of the Courts Act introducing the obligation for judges to declare their assets and the possibility of transferring judges to overburdened courts; is convinced that the backlog of cases should be further tackled by promoting alternative dispute resolution mechanisms with the aim of achieving an effective judicial system;

(c)

commends Croatia for fully cooperating with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY); is concerned, however, that, as shown by recent judicial decisions, the effective prosecution of war crimes might be undermined by hostility at local level, persisting bias amongst some of the judicial staff against non-Croatian nationals and insufficient protection of witnesses against intimidation; urges the Croatian Government to continue actively to encourage and support the prosecution of war crimes, regardless of the nationality of the perpetrators; is also concerned about certain initiatives taken by the Government, notably its offer to support the defence costs for army generals and its request to act as amicus curiae in cases pending before the ICTY;

(d)

takes the view that the all Croatian institutions and parties should counteract the public's perception of the ICTY as a hostile institution and publicise the role which the ICTY plays in prosecuting crimes committed against Croat civilians;

(e)

notes that an appropriate legal framework is in place concerning the protection of minorities as well as a demonstrated commitment to integrating minorities in the political system; recalls the importance of guaranteeing adequate representation of those minorities in the civil service, in the police forces and in the judiciary, as well as equal treatment in property-related and economic matters; calls for the development at all levels of state administration of a concrete action plan for achieving proportional representation of minorities, pursuant to the provisions of the Constitutional Law and with adequate provisions for monitoring;

(f)

notes with satisfaction the positive developments in the process for the return of refugees and displaced persons; invites the Government to further encourage return by seeking fair, effective and sustainable ways of addressing the issues of housing and employment, these being the main concerns of prospective returnees; asks the Croatian authorities to guarantee water and electricity services for all villages concerned;

(g)

welcomes the Government's new five-year plan to tackle the issue of housing provision for former tenancy right-holders outside the areas of special state concern; in this context, emphasises the need for the accelerated implementation of the new action plan, in order to address the pressing needs of the population concerned;

(h)

yet again invites the Croatian authorities to reopen the deadline for the recognition of working years in respect of people who worked in the so-called ‘Republika Srpska Krajina’ during the conflict and to allow these non-residents too to apply for such recognition; reminds the authorities that this would be a tangible sign of Croatia's willingness to overcome the rifts left by the conflict and promote reconciliation in the country;

(i)

is pleased to note Croatia's steadily increasing economic growth, based on an ambitious reform agenda and on strong private investment, and hopes that this will be soon translated into more and better jobs;

(j)

reminds the Croatian authorities that an open, competitive market economy is a fundamental requirement for EU membership; urges them therefore to implement more seriously and expeditiously the agreed targets for the sale of minority and majority state-owned interests in companies and for the reduction of state subsidies, particularly in the shipbuilding and steel sectors; believes that more should be done to open the Croatian market to foreign investors and service providers and to place them on the same footing as national operators; appeals to Croatia to authorise, by making full and expedient use of its existing procedures, the acquisition of real estate by EU nationals, with the exception of the exempted areas; recalls that the above objectives are already envisaged in the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with Croatia;

(k)

calls on the Croatian government to strengthen its administrative capacity in order to benefit intensively from the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance;

10.

Commends Croatia for the positive and leading role it plays in south-eastern Europe and welcomes in this respect the activities of the Croatian Government in its current capacity as Chairman-in-Office of the South-East European Cooperation Process; calls on Croatia and its neighbouring states to settle once and for all the unresolved border issues;

11.

Urges in particular both the Croatian and the Slovenian governments to exploit all the opportunities available in order to reach an agreement on all their pending border issues, taking into account the agreements reached so far and the conclusions of the European Council of 17-18 June 2004, and invites them to abstain from any unilateral action which might undermine such an agreement;

12.

Urges recourse to the good offices of a third party if solutions with the neighbouring countries cannot be found bilaterally to outstanding border disputes;

13.

Calls on the Commission to further encourage and support a broad-based truth and reconciliation process, in Croatia and throughout the Western Balkans, and to include other neighbouring countries when necessary; firmly believes that this process should involve civil society, political actors and cultural figures, and that it should lay the ground for lasting peace and stability in the region; considers that this reconciliation process must, in particular, target young people and that it should include a thorough review of school books and curricula for history studies;

14.

Encourages in this respect all efforts made by Croatian civil society to engage the public in debates and to raise public awareness about the recent past of the Western Balkans; stresses that Croatian nongovernmental organisations are a fundamental and indispensable element of a genuine pluralistic society; calls on the Croatian Government to support education in the field of recent history that fosters mutual understanding;

15.

Calls on the new Member States to play an active role in Croatia's move towards accession, allowing Croatia to benefit from their experience of reforms;

16.

Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Council, the Commission and the governments and parliaments of the Member States and of the Republic of Croatia.
