Recital 7
(7) The maritime administrations of the Member States should be able to rely on adequate resources, including technical decision-making capability, for the implementation of their flag State obligations, commensurate with the size and type of their fleet and based upon the relevant IMO requirements. The revision of this Directive may lead to increased costs, due to the new requirements on Flag State authorities. The increase of fees paid by shipowners should be proportionate to maintain the competitiveness of EU flags. In order to improve the overall qualitative performance of ships flying the flag of a Member State it is also necessary to harmonise the strict and thorough monitoring, including development of rules and design review, of the recognised organisations performing flag State duties on behalf of Member States.
