The visits conducted in respect of Directive 96/98/EC primarily concerned Member States’ monitoring of the notified bodies authorised by them.
The cycle of visits to the Member States in relation to Directive 96/98/EC of 20 December 1996 on marine equipment, as amended, started in 2010. EMSA conducted visits to the 12 Member States which had accredited at least one Notified Body. This cycle was completed in late 2014. A new cycle, concerning the implementation of Directive 2014/90/EU started in 2017. The cycle is expected to finish in 2023.
The purpose of the Directive is set out in Article 1 is:
The purpose of this Directive is to enhance safety at sea and to prevent marine pollution through the uniform application of the relevant international instruments relating to marine equipment to be placed on board ships and to ensure the free movement of such equipment within the Union.
The visits will in particular examine the following:

A cycle of visits to the Member States concerning the implementation of Directive (EU) 2016/802 of 11 May 2016 relating to a reduction in the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels (codified Directive 1999/32/EC) started in 2016 and is expected to be completed in 2021.
The purpose of the Directive is set out in Article 1:
1. The purpose of this Directive is to reduce the emissions of sulphur dioxide resulting from the combustion of certain types of liquid fuels and thereby to reduce the harmful effects of such emissions on man and the environment.
2. Reductions in emissions of sulphur dioxide resulting from the combustion of certain petroleum-derived liquid fuels shall be achieved by imposing limits on the sulphur content of such fuels as a condition for their use within Member States' territory, territorial seas and exclusive economic zones or pollution control zones.
The visits focus on the maritime related provisions in the Directive and, in particular, examine the following processes:
1. The way in which Member States have implemented the provisions of the Directive through its transposition into national legislation and in complementary implementation measures. This includes assigning responsibilities within the Administration and the allocation of infrastructure and human resources in order to achieve the legislation’s objectives.
2. The carrying-out of inspections, including the operational activities relating to inspections and fuel sampling conducted on board ships, record keeping and reporting.
3. The monitoring of marine fuel suppliers, including the national provisions and system in place for the monitoring of the marine fuels placed on the market in the Member State’s territory
4. The use of Trial and Approval of Abatement Methods, including activities relating to abatement methods including the approval processes, trials, and alternative fuels.
5. The establishment and use of a sanction and penalty system for breaches of the national provisions adopted to implement the Directive.
6. The fulfilment of the various information obligations that are required by the Directive.

Increased automation on-board ships, which could reach ultimately full autonomy or become remotely controlled unmanned vessels, are not a new maritime safety issue. As a matter of fact, the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee discussed automated ships as early as 1964 .However, the recent technological breakthroughs in the fields of information technologies, digitalization and machine learning, notably supported by EU funded research, have opened the possibility of a practical implementation of some of these solutions to MASS (Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships).
MASS has a ""disruptive"" potential with implications in terms of technical, economic, environmental, legislative and social impacts in the years to come. This development may also provide opportunities and new concepts which could improve logistics and, therefore, also improve the overall environmental impact of transport. As a natural consequence, MASS will also need to be tackled from a regulatory point of view, since regulations have traditionally offered a safety threshold but are also, sometimes, discouraging innovation, as they were often drafted in different times.
From the regulatory point of view, the IMO Maritime Safety Committee agreed to include on its agenda a new item on MASS and MSC 99 agreed to undertake a regulatory scoping exercise (RSE) to assess the impact of MASS upon the existing international maritime safety regulatory framework. It is expected that significant work will have to take place in a regulatory context after the completion of the RSE for the implementation and facilitation of further autonomy in shipping.
EMSA has provided support to the European Commission on this subject by participating at MSC meetings in relation to this subject and has provided input to the RSE. Furthermore, in relation to VTMIS (Vessel Traffic Management Information Systems), the Agency is also proactive within the High-level Steering Group (HLSG) for the Governance of the Digital Maritime System and Services and made a significant contribution to guidelines for trials with unmanned vessels.
A horizontal “task force” was set up in January 2020 within the Agency in order to become the technical facilitator in relation to autonomous ships and more in particular to become the platform for technical structured discussions with administrations, industry and academia.
Moreover, in 2019 EMSA commissioned the SAFEMASS study with the objective to identify new risks and regulatory gaps which will be created by implementing certain levels of autonomy.

The members of the CISE Stakeholder Group are principal and alternate expert representatives designated by the Member States. Other members of the group are the Commission, EDA, EFCA, EEAS, EMSA, Frontex and SatCen. The organisations and websites of the CSG members are listed in the file under “More info” below.
The CISE Stakeholder Group may decide to constitute working groups during the transitional phase.
Currently, the below mentioned working groups have been created. Member States and Agencies have been asked to nominate participants. The working groups have dedicated work spaces in the restricted collaborative platform. As a main rule, the working groups operate as correspondence groups.
The Cooperation Agreement Working Group.
This working group comprises experts appointed by CSG to be consulted in order to establish the cooperation agreements for sharing information between CISE nodes.
The Responsibility to Share Working Group.
Nominated members to this working group will contribute to define the audit scheme on the exchange of information. This audit scheme will support those participating in the CISE network to implement the responsibility to share principle.
The Configuration Board Working Group.
This working group comprises experts appointed by CSG to be consulted in case there is a request of changes in the common and core software. The CSG members that do not have the node implemented can appoint an expert with the role of observer. Node Owners and Node Administrators are also considered part of this working group. In addition, experts taking part of the CISE Test Campaigns and experts supporting the Security Study are part of subgroups to this working group.
Members of the CISE Stakeholder Group and working groups have been given access to the collaborative platform.

Classification societies are organisations which develop and apply technical standards for the design, construction and survey of ships and which carry out surveys and inspections on board ships. Flag states can authorise classification societies to act on their behalf to carry out statutory survey and certification work of their ships. Worldwide there are more than 50 classification societies but only 12 classification societies are presently recognised by the European Commission. This recognition allows them to act as Recognised Organisation on behalf of EU Member States.
EU Member States can only authorise a classification society recognised by the European Commission.
The European Union legislation that deals with classification societies is Regulation (EC) No 391/2009 and Directive 2009/15/EC. The European Commission assesses each of the EU recognised organisations once every two years. EMSA has been entrusted by the Commission with the task of carrying out the necessary inspections and therefore, EMSA carries out a number of inspections of each recognised organisation every year. This includes inspections of head offices and selected regional, field and site offices and also includes visits to ships, all for the purpose of verifying the performance of the recognised organisations. EMSA also carries out the necessary inspections of organisations for which recognition has been requested by a Member State.

It has become one of the most effective tools to verify that the condition of the ship and its equipment comply with the requirements of international regulations. PSC inspections should be carried out by Member States in a harmonised way to ensure that there is effective control of ships in EU ports and, thereby, ensure that ships sailing in EU waters have been appropriately constructed and are adequately maintained.
At the request of the Commission, the Agency visits Member State’s maritime administrations and their ports to verify compliance with the PSC rules and procedures, and ensure a consistent approach in the performance of the PSC inspections by PSC Officers within the EU.
A first cycle of PSC visits to monitor the functioning of the PSC regime in EU and check compliance with Directive 95/21/EC was carried out between 2004 and 2009. A report on the outcome of the visits was submitted to the Commission afterwards and was taken into account in the subsequent revision of the Directive.
From 1 January 2011, Directive 2009/16/EC replaced Directive 1995/21/EC, introducing revised requirements in the form of a new inspection regime to be implemented by the Member States. The Commission asked EMSA to carry out a second cycle of visits to Member States, which started in March 2012 and was completed in April 2016. EMSA analysed the results of the visits and provided to the Commission and the Member States a consolidated picture of all the horizontal aspects related to the implementation of the Directive.
A third cycle of PSC visits to Member States started in March 2017 and is expected to finish in 2021. This cycle, in addition to the overall monitoring of the PSC inspection regime in the EU, will take into account Directive 2013/38/EU (required to be implemented from 21 November 2014) and will verify the corrective actions taken by Member States on the findings of the second cycle.
The objective of the Permanent Cooperation Framework ‘PCF’ for the Investigation of Accidents in the Maritime Transport Sector, established by the Member States in close cooperation with the Commission is to provide an operational forum enabling the Member States’ investigative bodies to cooperate as referred to in Article 10 of Directive 2009/18/EC.
PCF also enables EMSA to facilitate cooperation as required by its founding Regulation.
PCF establishes a work programme foreseeing priorities and targets.
Salient points of the PCF meetings are made available to the public (below)

The processing of personal data in the Union institutions and bodies like agencies is regulated by Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 and Decision No 1247/2002/EC
Scope of the Regulation No. 2018/1725
Art. 2 provide that the Regulation shall apply to the processing of personal data by all Union institutions and bodies.
Processing of personal data
‘Processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;
Personal data

The data protection principles
Personal data shall be:
The controller shall be responsible for, and be able to demonstrate compliance with all of the above principles.
The Data Controller
‘Controller’ means the Union institution or body or the directorate-general or any other organisational entity which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by a specific Union act, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination can be provided for by Union law. Union institutions and bodies’ means the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies set up by, or on the basis of, the TEU, the TFEU or the Euratom Treaty;
For each processing operation, a Data Controller/Delegated Controller must be identified and prior notice must be given to the Data Protection Officer of the institution.

Each Union institution or body shall designate a data protection officer. Union institutions and bodies may designate a single data protection officer for several of them, taking into account their organisational structure and size.
The data protection officer shall be designated on the basis of professional qualities and, in particular, expert knowledge of data protection law and practices and the ability to fulfil the tasks. The Union institutions and bodies shall publish the contact details of the data protection officer and communicate them to the European Data Protection Supervisor. The Union institutions and bodies shall ensure that the data protection officer is involved, properly and in a timely manner, in all issues which relate to the protection of personal data. The DPO in EMSA is Radostina Nedeva-Magerlein.
The DPO can be contacted at DPO@emsa.europa.eu
In some institutions (including EMSA) there are also DPCs (data protection coordinators).
European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) is an independent supervisory authority established in accordance with Regulation (EC) 45/2001, later amended by Regulation 2018/1725. With respect to the processing of personal data, the EDPS is responsible for ensuring that the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons, and in particular their right to privacy, are respected by the Union institutions and bodies. The EDPS is also responsible for advising Union institutions and bodies and Data Subjects on all matters concerning the processing of personal data.

2. Right to be informed
You have the right to be informed, for example, about the fact that your data has been processed, the purpose for which it was processed and the identity of the controller.
3. Right to access
You have the right to receive information from an EU institution on whether your personal data is being processed by them, the purpose of this processing operation, the categories of data concerned and the recipients to whom your data are disclosed, as well as the right to access this personal data, processed by the EU institution.
4. Right to rectification
If your data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to rectify it.
5. Right to access
You have the right to receive information from an EU institution on whether your personal data is being processed by them, the purpose of this processing operation, the categories of data concerned and the recipients to whom your data are disclosed, as well as the right to access this personal data, processed by the EU institution.
6. Right to restrict the processing
Under certain circumstances, such as if you contest the accuracy of the processed data or if you are not sure if your data is lawfully processed, you can ask the controller to restrict the data processing.
7. Right to data portability

CCTV
For the safety and security of its buildings, assets, staff and visitors, the European Maritime Safety Agency (the Agency) operates a video-surveillance system. The purpose of the video surveillance system is the reduction and prevention of security incidents. The system helps to ensure the security of the buildings, the safety of staff and visitors, as well as property and information located or stored on the premises, by means of controlling access to the Agency buildings in compliance with Regulation(EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 and Decision No 1247/2002/EC and the applicable Portuguese legislation as well as the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) Guidelines.
The video surveillance system, which operates through a CCTV camera system, complements other physical security measures, such as access control systems and physical intrusion control systems. It forms part of all the security measures taken within the Agency and helps to prevent, deter, and if necessary, investigate unauthorised physical access, including unauthorised access to secure premises and protected rooms, ICT infrastructure, or operational information. In addition, video surveillance helps to prevent, detect and investigate theft of equipment or assets owned by the Agency, visitors or staff, or threats to the safety of personnel working at the offices (e.g. fire, physical assault).

The Commission proposed to involve EMSA for setting up and coordinating the actions envisaged for the transitional phase. The transitional phase was discussed with the Member States, several agencies and the EEAS during the 19th, 20th and 21st meeting of The Member States Experts Sub-Group on the Integration of Maritime Security and Surveillance (MSeG).
A Grant Agreement with an initial duration of two years was signed on 16 April 2019 between EMSA and the European Commission’s DG MARE, to entrust EMSA to set up and coordinate the action.
The governance structure of CISE for the transitional phase is defined in the document ""CISE Transitional Phase: Governance Structure”.
The Activities of the transitional phase are defined in the document ""CISE Transitional Phase: Activities"".
The main objectives of the transitional phase, according to document ""CISE Transitional Phase: Activities"" are to:
The professional traineeship programme aims to provide NEPTs (National Experts in Professional Training) with experience of EMSAs working methods with regard to Marine Pollution Response, Vessel Traffic Information Systems and EU Maritime Safety Legislation. In-service training enables them to gain practical experience and understanding of the day-to-day work of EMSA and to give them the opportunity to work in a multi-cultural environment, whilst at the same time allowing staff from the National Administrations to put into practice the knowledge they have acquired in their studies.
The professional traineeships offered by EMSA shall last between three and five months and will be organised twice a year, usually starting on the 1 or the 16 of the months of March and October.
Please note that NEPTs shall continue to be paid by their employer without any financial compensation from EMSA.
People who have already been seconded as an SNE or worked under an employment contract in one of the Community institutions or bodies shall not be eligible for professional traineeships.
