Commission Directive 2005/23/EC
of 8 March 2005
amending Directive 2001/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the minimum level of training of seafarers
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Directive 2001/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 April 2001 on the minimum level of training of seafarers(1), and in particular Article 22(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2001/25/EC defines minimum training, certification and watchkeeping requirements for seafarers serving on board Community ships. Those requirements are based on the standards laid down in the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW Convention) and the Seafarers’ Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code (STCW Code).
(2) The STCW Convention and the STCW Code have been amended by Resolutions MSC.66(68) and MSC.67(68) of the Maritime Safety Committee of the International Maritime Organisation, which entered into force on 1 January 1999, Resolution MSC.78(70), which entered into force on 1 January 2003, and circulars STCW.6/Circ.3 and STCW.6/Circ.5, which became effective on 20 May 1998 and 26 May 2000, respectively.
(3) The new Regulation V/3 of the SCTW Convention, which was added by Resolution MSC.66(68), prescribes mandatory minimum requirements of training and qualifications for masters, officers, ratings and other personnel on passenger ships other than ro-ro passenger ships.
(4) Directive 2001/25/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Safe Seas, set up by Regulation (EC) No 2099/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2),
