"I welcomed the proposal because the accession to the Athens Convention relating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea is a long-standing issue dealt with by the EU and by the European Parliament in particular. The convention itself dates back to 1974, with the safety of passenger ships and passenger rights lying at its heart. It was, however, considered that the convention insufficiently regulated a number of substantive issues, including the nature and extent of the carriers’ liability and minimum requirements on insurance. The Committee on Legal Affairs is responsible for
the interpretation and application of Union law and compliance of Union acts with primary law, notably the choice of legal bases, the interpretation and application of international law, insofar as the Union is affected, and measures concerning judicial and administrative cooperation in civil matters. The Committee on Legal Affairs is responsible for drafting the European Parliament legislative resolution on this decision. The other articles of the Athens Protocol concern amendments to the Athens Convention regarding the liability of a carrier, compulsory insurance, the limit on liability for death and personal injury or for loss of or damage to luggage and vehicles, and accounting and conversion issues. These are all issues relating to transport."@en1
