Amendment 45 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 5 a (new)
Directive 2008/106/EC
Article 15 – paragraph 11
(5a) In Article 15, paragraph 11 is replaced by the following: 11. With due regard for the general principles of well-being as well as the protection of the health and safety of workers and in line with Directive 1999/63/EC Member States may, by means of national laws, regulations or a procedure for the competent authority, authorise or register collective agreements permitting exceptions to the required hours of rest set out in point (b) of paragraph 4 and in paragraph 5 of this Article provided that the rest period is no less than 70 hours in any seven-day period and respects the limits set out in paragraphs 12 and 13 of this Article. Such exceptions shall, as far as possible, follow the standards set out but may take account of more frequent or longer leave periods, or the granting of compensatory leave for watchkeeping seafarers or seafarers working on board ships on short voyages. Exceptions shall, as far as possible, take into account the guidance regarding prevention of fatigue laid down in Section B-VIII/1 of the STCW Code. ECrucially, no exceptions to the minimum hours of rest provided for in point (a) of paragraph 4 of this Article shall not be allowed.
