Regulation No 1406/2002, establishing a European Maritime Safety Agency, was adopted by Parliament and the Council on 27 June 2002 and came into force following its publication in the Official Journal in August 2002.
The main task of this new body will be to provide technical and scientific assistance to Member States and the Commission in order to ensure that Community legislation in the maritime navigation sector is correctly implemented, to prevent ship-source pollution and to monitor the implementation of this legislation.
Following the recent series of disasters at sea, the Commission proposes extending the competences of the Agency to provide it with the necessary means to address certain problems connected with maritime safety. Most importantly, it assigns complementary tasks to the Agency to support the Commission’s activities in the fight against terrorist acts on ships and port facilities, in training seafarers and in the fight against marine pollution. There is already a legislative framework in place that establishes a system of cooperation in the area of sea pollution, and a Community mechanism designed to encourage closer cooperation in emergency interventions in the field of civil protection.
This proposal, which has undergone substantial improvement in the Committee on Regional Policy, Transport and Tourism, wins my support."@en1
