SF 3.860/6.900COSTA CONCORDIA – EXCHANGE OF VIEWS BETWEEN COMMISSIONER KALLAS AND THE EP TRAN COMMITTEE– Information to be noted
As advised with C-6791/12 of 23/1/12, today the EP Transport Committee (TRAN) invited, in its first meeting following the Costa Concordia accident, EU transport Commissioner Siim Kallas to report on the actions that the Commission plans to take in the field of safety of passenger ships.
The exchange of views with the TRAN Committee can be summarised as follows:
• In relation to the Costa Concordia accident, Siim Kallas informed that the Commission services are in close contact with the Italian authorities to follow and accompany as necessary, together with EMSA, the rescue and investigation operations.
• Siim Kallas stressed that the Commission services continue to carry out their regular work in updating safety rules and standards for all transport modes, including sea passenger transport, with a view of increasing the effectiveness of transport safety and fully keeping pace with the latest designs and technologies.
• In referring to the ongoing Commission’s policy review of EU passenger ship safety law, Siim Kallas confirmed that a stakeholder consultation looking at different options (including both legislative and non legislative initiatives) would be launched in the course of 2012.
• After recalling the impressive safety record of passenger ships in EU waters, Commissioner Kallas agreed with the comments put forward by different MEPs, including the Chair of the TRAN Committee Brian Simpson, that the Commission should first wait for the final outcome and results of the ongoing Costa Concordia accident investigation and analyse it before deciding whether the EU would need any new legislation.
• In this regard, while calling for a cautious approach pending the outcome of the investigation, both Commissioner Kallas and a number of MEPs stressed the need to ensure the respect and proper implementation of the considerable body of existing legislation adopted at international and EU level.
