"I voted for the European Parliament resolution on the draft Council decision concerning the accession of the EU to the Protocol of 2002 to the Athens Convention Relating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea, 1974, with the exception of Articles 10 and 11 thereof. This Protocol introduces clarifications about liability in case of fault or negligence by the carrier, compulsory insurance, the limit of liability for death or physical injury or damage to luggage or vehicles. The adoption of Regulation (EC) No 392/2009 on the liability of carriers of passengers by sea in the event of an accident entails that the EU now has exclusive competence to accede to the Athens Protocol as far as the matters covered by the regulation are concerned. All the other aspects of the Protocol which are not covered by the regulation come under Member States’ remit. The Athens Protocol continues to be a mixed agreement which each Member State must sign up to. With this in mind, Member States and the European Union must deposit the accession instruments on the same day. I must highlight the deadline of 31 December 2011, which is when the EU and Member States must deposit the instruments for joining the Athens Protocol or ratifying it, in the case of those which have already signed it."@en1
