Commission Directive 2012/32/EU
of 25 October 2012
amending Council Directive 96/98/EC on marine equipment
(Text with EEA relevance) (repealed)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 96/98/EC of 20 December 1996 on marine equipment(1), and in particular Article 17 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) For the purposes of Directive 96/98/EC, the international conventions and testing standards should apply in their up-to-date versions.
(2) A number of amendments to the international conventions and applicable testing standards have entered into force since the adoption of the last amending act to Directive 96/98/EC. Those amendments should be incorporated into Directive 96/98/EC.
(3) In the same period the International Maritime Organisation and the European standardisation organisations have also adopted standards, including detailed testing standards, for a number of items of equipment which are listed in Annex A.2 to Directive 96/98/EC or which, albeit not listed, are considered relevant for the purpose of that Directive. Therefore such items of equipment should be included in Annex A.1 or transferred from Annex A.2 to Annex A.1, as appropriate.
(4) Directive 96/98/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) It is reasonable to allow equipment newly subject to harmonised requirements under this Directive and manufactured before the expiry of the time limit for the implementation of this Directive to be placed on the market and on board a Community ship during a transitional period.
(6) 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 (COSS),
