The European transport ministers adopted, on Monday 4 December, their positions (‘general approaches’) on four texts on maritime safety: - port State control; - compliance with flag State requirements; - investigation of accidents in the maritime transport sector; - ship-source pollution (see EUROPE B13305A6).
“Today’s decisions set the baselines for safer and cleaner maritime transport in Europe”, said Óscar Puente, Spain’s Minister for Transport and Sustainable Mobility.
