Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) In order to foster the professional mobility of seafarers within the EU and avoid the European maritime sector facing a shortage of competent staff with the right mix of skills and competences, the mutual recognition of seafarers’ certificates issued by Member States should be facilitated. Therefore, Member States should fully recognise certificates of proficiencies and documentary evidence issued to seafarers by other Member States, including for the purposes of issuing national certificates of competency. If a Member State refuses to endorse or accept such a valid certificate issued by another Member State, it should state the reasons on which that decision is based.
