"It is of utmost importance that crews being trained in different countries and under different systems operating onboard the same ship have the capacities needed to perform their duties in a safe manner. Training, in fact, plays an important role in maritime safety. Training and certification of seafarers is regulated by the Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW Convention) which was adopted in 1978 by the International Maritime Organisation. The Convention entered into force in 1984 and was significantly amended in 1995. More recently, in 2010, a Conference of Parties to the STCW Convention in Manila launched a comprehensive review and introduced significant amendments to the STCW Convention, which entered into force on 1 January 2012. I remain of the view that the Union rules relating to training and certification of seafarers should continue to be kept in line with the international rules in order to avoid a conflict between the European Union commitments and the international commitments of the Union Member States, who are all parties of the STCW Convention and signed up to the amendments adopted at the Manila Conference."@en1
