Amendment 24 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) A broad debate involving social partners, Member States, training institutions and other stakeholders is necessary to investigate the possibility of creating a voluntary system of harmonised certificates going beyond the STCW in the level of training, in order to increase the competitive advantage of European seafarers. Such a STCW+ could establish “maritime certificates of excellence” based on European maritime postgraduate courses, which would provide European seafarers with skills above and beyond those required at international level. The courses would allow staying abreast of the fast-changing technology in the sector, such as shipboard technology and shore based support systems.
