"Mr President, the Maritime Labour Convention was adopted by the International Labour Organisation on 23 February 2006. I, and the Parliament as whole, have long supported measures to establish minimum standards for working and living conditions on board ships. Given the global nature of the shipping industry, it is appropriate that such standards be applicable to the entire industry. The measures to ensure compliance have a particularly important role to play in achieving these objectives.
Substandard ships are unacceptable both in view of the workers’ rights and also for the sake of ship safety, security and environmental protection. While early ratification of the MLC and the transposition of the amended directive are important, creating an adequate legislative framework is not sufficient. Member States must also recruit an adequate number of inspectors with the necessary skills, including the ability to assess seafarers’ living and working conditions on board ships and the European Maritime Safety Agency has an important role to play in training these inspectors to carry out MLC control functions."@en1
