Commission Directive 2007/71/EC

of 13 December 2007

amending Annex II of Directive 2000/59/EC of the European Parliament and the Council on port reception facilities for ship-generated waste and cargo residues

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Directive 2000/59/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 27 November 2000 on port reception facilities for ship-generated waste and cargo residues(1), and in particular Article 15 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Annex IV to Marpol 73/78 on the prevention of pollution by sewage from ships entered into force on 27 September 2003 and its revised version entered into force on 1 August 2005.

(2) Article 16 of Directive 2000/59/EC provides that the implementation of the Directive as regards sewage will be suspended for 12 months after the entry into force of Annex IV to Marpol.

(3) The master of a ship bound for a port located in the Community has an obligation under Article 6 of Directive 2000/59/EC to complete the form in Annex II of the Directive and notify the information to the authority or body designated for this purpose by the Member States in which the port is located.

(4) Annex II does not refer to sewage and therefore should be amended to include sewage as an additional type of waste to be notified before entry into the port. The provisions of the Directive as regards sewage should be seen in connection with Marpol Annex IV Regulations which provide, under specific conditions, for the possibility to discharge sewage at sea. This should apply without prejudice to more stringent delivery requirements for ships adopted in accordance with international law.

(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Safe Seas and the Prevention of Pollution from Ships set up by Regulation (EC) No 2099/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council(2),
