(5) For carriers by air and sea, such registration and certification systems already exist. Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 of 16 December 1991 on the harmonization of technical requirements and administrative procedures in the field of civil aviation lays down that air carriers need a specific air operator certificate for the transportation of dangerous goods. For transports by sea, Directive 2002/59/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2002 establishes a Community vessel traffic monitoring and information system. The certificates issued by the civil aviation authorities and the reporting system for maritime vessels are deemed to satisfactorily implement the reporting and authorisation requirements of Directive 96/29/Euratom. Registration of air and sea carriers under this Regulation is therefore not necessary to enable Member States to ensure compliance with the basic safety standards in these transport modes.deleted
