COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2008/67/EC

of 30 June 2008

amending Council Directive 96/98/EC on marine equipment

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 96/98/EC of 20 December 1996 on marine equipment (1) and in particular Article 17 thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

For the purposes of Directive 96/98/EC, the international conventions and testing standards shall apply in their up-to-date version.

 

(2)

As amendments to the international conventions and applicable testing standards have entered into force since 1 July 2002, date on which Directive 96/98/EC was amended for the last time, these amendments should be incorporated into the said Directive in the interests of clarity.

 

(3)

The International Maritime Organisation and the European standardization organizations have adopted standards, including detailed testing standards, for a number of items of equipment which are listed in Annex A.2 to Directive 96/98/EC or which, albeit not listed, are considered relevant for the purpose of the said Directive. Therefore such items of equipment should be included in Annex A.1 or transferred from Annex A.2 to Annex A.1, as appropriate.

 

(4)

Directive 96/98/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

 

(5)

The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the COSS Committee established by Directive 2002/84/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Annex A to Directive 96/98/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Directive.

Article 2

Where equipment listed as ‘new item’ under the heading ‘item designation’ of Annex A.1 or as having been transferred from Annex A.2 to Annex A.1 was manufactured before the date referred to in Article 3(1) in accordance with procedures for type-approval already in force before that date within the territory of a Member State, such equipment may be placed on the market and on board a Community ship during the two years following the said date.
