Recital 1 a (new)
(1 a) Ship-carried tenders are used to ferry passengers from passenger ships to shore and back, and they are not appropriate for other types of services such as coastal sightseeing excursions, which should be undertaken by ships that meet the requirements for passenger ships of the coastal State, as provided for by inter alia the IMO guidelines (MSC.1/Circ.1417 on Guidelines for passenger ship tenders). The Commission should therefore assess the need for common European requirements, including mandatory provisions, for vessels used for coastal sightseeing excursions, and issue specific guidelines before 2020, also in order to facilitate the harmonisation of rules and standards between Member States.

(2) The Regulatory Fitness Programme (REFIT)17 has shown that not all Member States certify aluminium ships under Directive 2009/45/EC. This creates an uneven situation that undermines the objective of achieving a common, high safety level for passengers sailing domestically in the Union. To avoid the non-uniform application arising from the interpretation of the Directive's scope related to the definition of aluminium as an equivalent material and the applicability of the corresponding fire safety standards, the definition of the equivalent material should be clarified. However, Member States should be allowed to keep their current stricter fire prevention methods. _________________ 17 COM(2015)508.
