Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions – Review of the operation of the provisions with regard to workers on board seagoing fishing vessels contained in Directive 2003/88/EC

This Communication reviews the operation of Article 21 of Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time concerning workers on board seagoing fishing vessels ("SFVs") flying the flag of a Member State, as required by Article 25 of the Directive. The Directive is construed in a restrictive way, meaning that only those provisions concerning exclusively workers on board SFVs (and not any other workers) are analysed.
