Recital 5 a (new)
(5 a) Due to the specific geographical and weather characteristics and the high number of islands that need to be served regularly and frequently in Greece, both from the mainland or from other Greek islands, and the ensuing high number of possible maritime connections, Greece should be allowed to derogate from the requirement of establishing sea areas. Instead, Greece should be allowed to classify passenger ships according to the specific sea route in which they operate, while maintaining the same criteria for classes of passenger ships and the same safety standards.
