lpv:translated text	". The Commission proposal promotes the legalisation of the unacceptable and dangerous deterioration in maritime training, satisfying the decision by big shipping business to increase its profits at the expense of the safety of the very lives of seafarers, shipping and the environment. This deterioration has also been identified by experts in international organisations, who consider the basic cause to be the agreements drawn up on the instructions of shipowners, which form the basis for the proposed directive. Separating diplomas from work permits in a bid to exploit cheap and basically unskilled labour is just one of the typical elements of the deliberate demotion of maritime education to simple training. We consider that training for seafarers needs to be upgraded so that their knowledge reflects current requirements. However, this requires a total break with big shipping business, a break that the EU cannot and does not want. Seafarers themselves and other workers need to fight for a different policy of radical change, not only to the system and to the safeguarding of free state education, but also to international agreements and conventions, so that they lay down minimum education levels, introduce strict provisions for determining ships’ crews and fully safeguard the employment and insurance rights of seafarers. Thus, in conjunction with the renewal of ships, we shall have safe shipping."@en1
