The Council adopted in June 2002 two major legislative proposals under the ERIKA 2 package: the Directive on the monitoring of maritime traffic and the Regulation setting up a Maritime Safety Agency. These two proposals complement the legislative arsenal already put in place at European level to avoid disasters like the ERIKA in the future. They represent a genuine revolution in maritime transport: it will now be possible to prevent a vessel from leaving a port in extremely adverse weather conditions. |
