"The convention of 1974 primarily concerns issues of safety and liability which can arise during the carriage of passengers and their luggage by sea. The convention was revised by means of a Protocol adopted in 2002 to allow for more efficient regulation of areas including liability in the case of fault or neglect by the carrier, compulsory insurance and the entitlement to make claims directly against the insurer. The Member States retain the right to regulate independently all the areas not covered by the Protocol. In addition, it is possible to specify higher limits of liability.
As Articles 10 and 11 of the Protocol relate to the areas of judicial cooperation in civil matters which come under the terms of Article 81 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, these provisions will be covered by a separate act. It goes without saying that accession to the Protocol involves the creation of a general legal framework which standardises the rights of passengers transported by sea in a positive way and, therefore, represents an improvement on the current situation. However, some of the provisions are unclear, which is why I have abstained."@en1
