European Maritime Safety Agency: further development

The European Parliament approved the Council position at first reading with a view to the adoption of a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 establishing a European Maritime Safety Agency.

It should be noted that a proposal to reject the Council’s position tabled by the EFD group was rejected in plenary with 63 votes in favour, 582 against and 33 abstentions.
