text: C 108/122 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 7. 4. 98 Proposal for a Council Directive on conditions for the operation of regular Ro-Ro Ferry and high speed passenger craft services in the Community (98/C 108/18) (Text with EEA relevance) COM(98) 71 final — 98/0064(SYN) (submitted by the Commission on 18 February 1998) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, a common minimum level of safety for ships throughout the Community; Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 84 (2) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 189c of the Treaty, In cooperation with the European Parliament, Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee, Whereas within the framework of the common transport policy further measures must be taken to enhance safety in the maritime transport of passengers; is seriously concerned by Whereas the Community shipping accidents involving ro-ro ferries which have resulted in a massive loss of lives; whereas persons using ro-ro passenger ships and high speed passenger craft throughout the Community have the right to expect, and be able to rely on an appropriate level of safety; Whereas the Council in its resolution of 22 December 1994 on the safety of roll-on/roll-off passenger ferries (1) invited the Commission to submit proposals for a mandatory survey regime and for the establishment of a control regime for the safety of ro-ro ferries; Whereas this Directive is in conformity with the right of Member States to impose on passenger ships and craft sailing to or from their ports, certain more stringent requirements than those in the SOLAS Convention; laid down Whereas in view, in particular, of the internal market dimension of maritime passenger transport, action at Community level is the most effective way of establishing (1) OJ C 379, 31. 12. 1994, p. 8. Whereas, in view of the proportionality principle, a Council Directive is the appropriate legal instrument as it provides a framework for the Member States’ uniform and compulsory application of safety standards, while leaving each Member State the right to decide which implementation tools best fit its internal system; Whereas the safety of ships is the primary responsibility of flag States; whereas Member States can ensure compliance with adequate safety requirements by ferries and high-speed craft flying their flag; whereas the only way to ensure safety of these vessels and craft irrespective of their flag operating or wishing to operate on a regular service to and from their ports is for the Member States to require their effective compliance with safety rules as a condition to operate on a regular service from their ports; their capacity of host States; whereas Whereas this Directive addresses the Member States in these responsibilities are based upon specific port State responsibilities fully in line with the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS); Whereas action at Community level is the best way to ensure the mandatory enforcement of some principles agreed upon within the IMO, while avoiding distortion of competition between different Community ports and ro-ro ferries and high speed passenger craft; of the common competition Whereas in the interest of improving safety and avoiding safety distortion requirements should apply to ro-ro ferries and high speed passenger craft providing regular services and engaged both on international and domestic voyages in sea areas where its without doubt practical to apply the Directive, irrespective of the flag they fly, whilst leaving the possibility to the Member States to extend the scope of application to ships sailing in other areas if practicable; 7. 4. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 108/123 Whereas companies should know in advance all the safety related conditions they have to fulfil to operate their ro-ro ferries and high speed craft in the Community; whereas companies operating ro-ro ferries and high speed passenger the in requirements of the Directive should not be prevented from operating on a regular service within the Community and should duly be informed thereof; compliance with found craft Whereas verification of compliance of ro-ro ferries and high speed passenger craft with the requirements is necessary through specific surveys by the host States on the basis of harmonized procedures and detailed guidelines and should be carried out by a qualified team of inspectors prior to the start of a service fulfilling the requirements of this Directive and subsequently at regular intervals; Whereas this Directive does not interfere with the obligations and the right of a Member State to inspect ships or craft under the provisions of Article 5 of Directive 95/21/EC of 19 June 1995 concerning the enforcement, in respect of shipping using Community ports and sailing in the waters under jurisdiction of the Member States, of international standards for ship safety, pollution prevention and shipboard living and working conditions (port State control) (2); Whereas to reduce the burden upon companies for the verification of compliance of ships and craft due account should be taken of their operational and maintenance schedule as well as of the confirmation of compliance for operation on similar routes; whereas ships and craft which have been surveyed to the satisfaction of the host State should not be subjected to expanded inspections under Directive 95/21/EC; Whereas Member States should cooperate to exercise their responsibilities as host States; it to is necessary Whereas identify harmonized requirements for survey and certification by the flag States; whereas Member States might find it necessary to delegate these tasks only to recognized organizations which meet the requirements of Council Directive 94/57/EC of 22 November 1994 on common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organizations and for relevant activities of marine administrations (3); Whereas all ro-ro ferries operating to and from EC ports should conform, at the building stage and during their entire lifetime, with the relevant classification standards as regards their hull strength, main and auxiliary machinery and electrical and automatic plants and should be fitted with a voyage data recorder complying with the relevant international requirements;
