Briefing - Revision of the Port State Control Directive - 18-12-2024

On 1 June 2023, the European Commission presented a legislative package to modernise and reinforce maritime rules on safety and pollution prevention. It contains proposals to revise five legal acts, including the Port State Control Directive (PSCD). The aim is to update them to bring them into line with the requirements of the International Maritime Organization and the regional organisation for port state control, set up under the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The proposal refers to the inspection of foreign ships in national ports, to verify that the ships' condition complies with international regulations, including for crews. The PSCD would be extended to cover additional international rules such as new conventions on ballast water and removal of wrecks, and updated rules under the Paris MoU. It would give more importance to ships' environmental performance in determining their risk profile, and boost Member States' capacity to detect and address cases of non-compliance with standards and rules on safety, environmental protection and pollution prevention. The scope would be extended to fishing vessels. The European Parliament's Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) adopted its report on 7 December 2023. On 27 February 2024, Parliament and Council reached a provisional agreement, which TRAN endorsed on 20 March 2024. On 10 April 2024, Parliament adopted the provisional agreement in plenary, concluding its first reading. On 18 November 2024, Council adopted Parliament's first-reading position. The final act was signed by the Council president and the Parliament president on 27 November 2024. The revised directive was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 16 December 2024 and will enter into force 20 days from this date. Source : © European Union, 2024 - EP

Briefing - International Agreements in Progress: Modernisation of the trade pillar of the EU-Chile Association Agreement - 18-12-2024

On 9 December 2022, 20 years after the signature of the EU-Chile Association Agreement in 2002, the EU and Chile reached an agreement in principle on a new EU-Chile Advanced Framework Agreement, which comprises modernised trade and political and cooperation pillars. Negotiations were launched in November 2017, based on a Council negotiating mandate, which was the first-ever to have been published prior to the start of negotiations. Although the trade pillar had operated smoothly and led to an expansion of bilateral trade in goods and services and investment, Chile and the EU agreed to broaden and deepen it to unlock untapped potential, break new ground and keep pace with new trade and investment patterns in a global competitive environment that has fundamentally changed with the growing global footprint of countries such as China. As the EU-Chile Advanced Framework Agreement (AFA) comprises provisions falling under both the EU's exclusive competence and shared competence with EU Member States, an EU-Chile interim trade agreement (iTA) was copied from the EU-Chile AFA to undergo an EU-only ratification process, while the EU-Chile AFA including its trade pillar will also have to be ratified by all EU Member States in accordance with their constitutional requirements. The former will expire, once the latter has entered into force. The agreements were signed on 13 December2023. On 29 February 2024, Parliament provided its consent to both. On 18 March 2024, the Council endorsed the EU-Chile iTA, which ends the EU-level ratification. Chile finalised the ratification of both agreements on 13 November 2024. Fourth edition. The 'International Agreements in Progress' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the process, from initial discussions through to ratification. Source : © European Union, 2024 - EP
