COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2009/26/EC

of 6 April 2009

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 should apply in their up-to-date versions.
 

(2)

As amendments to the international conventions and applicable testing standards have entered into force since 30 June 2008, date on which Directive 96/98/EC was amended for the last time, these amendments should be incorporated into that Directive in the interests of clarity.
 

(3)

The International Maritime Organisation and the European standardisation organisations 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 Committee on Safe Seas and the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (COSS),

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
