".
This Commission proposal is designed to simplify the recognition procedure for seafarers’ certificates because a situation has arisen where the recognition of certificates from outside the EU is now simpler than that of certificates from within the EU.
The aim is essentially to bring European rules into line with international agreements, namely the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW Convention). In particular, the 1978 Convention laid down specific criteria for the recognition of certificates for masters, officers and radio officers issued by the parties.
I consider it a timely proposal and, of course, I underline the fact that it adopts language proficiency requirements for seafarers – a command of English, which is obviously the international
and provides for mechanisms to prevent fraud in the certification process (Article 5 of the Commission proposal).
Reducing the burden of regulation for workers in this sector in Europe is another positive aspect of this proposal."@en1
