PURPOSE: to recast a Directive on the minimum level of training for seafarers.
PROPOSED ACT: Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council
CONTENT: The codification of Directive 2001/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 April 2001 on the minimum level of training of seafarers has been initiated by the Commission. The new Directive was to have superseded the various acts incorporated in it.
In the meantime, Council Decision 1999/468/EC (comitology) was amended by Decision 2006/512/EC, which introduced a regulatory procedure with scrutiny. It is therefore appropriate to transform the codification of Directive 2001/25/EC into a recast in order to incorporate the amendments necessary for the adjustment to the regulatory procedure with scrutiny.
