"This proposal for a recommendation, drafted by Mr Simpson, relates to the draft Council decision concerning the accession of the European Union to the Protocol, adopted on 1 November 2002, to the Athens Convention relating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea, with the exception of Articles 10 and 11 thereof. Accession negotiations, started in 2003, were suspended and only restarted in 2007, after the Commission had tabled a complementary regulation in 2005 on the liability of carriers of passengers. In 2009, following four years of negotiations, the European Parliament and Council reached an agreement on Regulation (EC) No 392/2009, which stipulates that the EU has exclusive competence to accede to the Athens Protocol as far as the matters covered by the regulation are concerned, and that all other aspects of the Protocol will fall under Member State competence. This draft decision sets out the declarations to be made by the Union at the time of the deposit of the instrument of accession. As such, I welcome the adoption of this recommendation and the overcoming of a problem that has existed for almost 10 years."@en1
