EC public consultation sea going vessels
18-4-2012
![]() The public consultation window is opened. Through this process the European Commission wants to learn the opinion of the general public on issues concerning the safety regulations for sea going passenger ships in the broadest sense. The subject is not limited to convention (SOLAS) passenger ships or ships now covered by Directive 2009/45 (formerly known as 98/18) but also concerns sailing ships, historical ships and ships other than steel ships. The consultation is open to all EU citizens. The window will be open for three months. This will leave a good opportunity to first exchange ideas and opinions within your own organisation and secondly examine the possibilities to act together with other European representative organisations under the EMH umbrella before filling out the question forms of the European Commission.
An EMH delegation will travel to Brussels Tuesday 24th April to present the case of EMH in more abstract terms and to learn more about the procedure and how we can contribute to the success of it. We will get back to you shortly afterwards and possibly with a suggestion for a plan of joint action.
The public consultation on the revision of Directive 2009/45/EC was launched this weekend and I invite you to provide your comments at the following webpage: http://ec.europa.eu/transport/maritime/consultations/2012-07-05-passenger-ship-safety_en.htm The stakeholder conference will take place on 24 April and the programme outline can be found at the bottom of the webpage : http://ec.europa.eu/transport/maritime/safety/passenger_ships_en.htm
