Therefore, a voluntary system for those EU Member States that wish to carry out these inspections and which is separate from the current port state control regime is being proposed to allow for flexibility and the way that standards are developed in port State control.

Member States carrying out those voluntary inspections may be granted financial assistance (EMFAF), in order to ensure sufficient means and human resources to this end.
