"It is vitally important that crews on board ships have a minimum level of training to ensure their safety at sea and in port. It should be guaranteed that seafarers performing the same duties have the same level of skills needed to ensure the same performance, even where they have been trained in another Member State. Training and certification of seafarers are regulated by the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW Convention), which was adopted in 1978 by the International Maritime Organisation. The STCW Convention was amended in 2010 in Manila, with these amendments having entered into force on 1 January 2012. It is vital that the amendments agreed in Manila are coherently transposed into EU law through the amendment of Directive 2008/106/EC. In order to avoid compromising safety on board ships, the opinion advocates an essential minimum rest period for seafarers. I therefore support this proposal, which seeks to prevent the danger posed by fatigue by not allowing exceptions to the daily rest period. Exceptions will only be allowed if social partners in the different Member States agree to a lower weekly rest period than 77 hours."@en1
