C 43/12 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 17. 2. 1999 ANNEX EUROPEAN AGREEMENT ON THE ORGANISATION OF WORKING TIME OF SEAFARERS Having regard to the Agreement on social policy annexed to the Protocol on social policy attached to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular Article 3(4) and 4(2) thereof, Whereas Article 4(2) of the Agreement on social policy provides that agreements concluded at European level may be implemented at the joint request of the signatory parties by a Council Decision on a proposal from the Commission; Whereas the signatory parties hereby make such a request; The signatory parties have agreed the following: Clause 1 1. The Agreement applies to seafarers on board every seagoing ship, whether publicly or privately owned, which is registered in the territory of any Member State and is ordinarily engaged in commercial maritime operations. For the purpose of this Agreement a ship that is on the register of two States is deemed to be registered in the territory of the State whose flag it flies. 2. In the event of doubt as to whether or not any ships are to be regarded as seagoing ships or engaged in commercial maritime operations for the purpose of the Agreement, the question shall be determined by the competent authority of the Member State. The organisations of shipowners and seafarers concerned should be consulted. For the purpose of the Agreement: Clause 2 (a) the term ‘hours of work’: means time during which a seafarer is required to do work on account of the ship (b) the term ‘hours of rest’: means the time outside hours of work; this term does not include short breaks (c) the term ‘seafarer’: means any person who is employed or engaged in any capacity on board a seagoing ship to which the Agreement applies; (d) the term ‘shipowner’: means the owner of the ship or any other organisation or person, such as the manager or bareboat charterer, who has assumed the responsibility for the operation of the ship from the shipowner and who on assuming such responsibility has agreed to take over all the attendant duties and responsibilities. Clause 3 Within the limits set out in Clause 5, there shall be fixed either a maximum number of hours of work which shall not be exceeded in a given period of time, or a minimum number of hours of rest which shall be provided in a given period of time. Clause 4 Without prejudice to Clause 5, the normal working hours’ standard of seafarers is, in principle, based on an eight-hour day with one day of rest per week and rest on public holidays. Member States may have procedures to authorise or register a collective agreement which determines seafarers’ normal working hours on a basis no less favourable than this standard. 17. 2. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 43/13 Clause 5 1. The limits on hours of work or rest shall be either: (a) maximum hours of work which shall not exceed (i) 14 hours in any 24-hour period; and (ii) 72 hours in any seven-day period or (b) minimum hours of rest which shall not be less than: (i) 10 hours in any 24-hour period; and (ii) 77 hours in any seven-day period. 2. Hours of rest may be divided into no more than two periods, one of which shall be at least six hours in length and the interval between consecutive periods of rest shall not exceed 14 hours. 3. Musters, fire-fighting and lifeboat drills, and drills prescribed by national laws and regulations and by international instruments shall be conducted in a manner that minimises the disturbance of rest periods and does not induce fatigue. 4. In respect of situations when a seafarer is on call, such as when a machinery space is unattended, the seafarer shall have an adequate compensatory rest period if the normal period of rest is disturbed by call-outs to work. 5. With regard to paragraphs 3 and 4, where no collective agreement or arbitration award exists or if the competent authority determines that the provisions in the agreement or award are inadequate, it would be for the competent authority to determine such provisions to ensure that the seafarers concerned have sufficient rest. 6. With due regard for the general principles of the protection of the health and safety of workers, Member States may have national laws, regulations or a procedure for the competent authority to authorise or register collective agreements permitting exceptions to the limits set out in paragraphs 1 and 2. Such exceptions shall, as far as possible, follow the standards set out but may take account of more frequent or longer leave periods, or the granting of compensatory leave for watchkeeping seafarers or seafarers working on board ship on short voyages. 7. A table shall be posted, in an easily accessible place, with the shipboard working arrangements, which shall contain for every position at least: (a) the schedule of service at sea and service in port; and (b) the maximum hours of work or the minimum hours of rest required by the laws, regulations or collective agreements in force in the Member States. 8. The table referred to in paragraph 7 shall be established in a standardised format in the working language or languages of the ship and in English. Clause 6 No seafarer under 18 years of age shall work at night. For the purpose of this Clause; ‘night’ means a period of at least nine consecutive hours, including the interval from midnight to 5 a. m.

In accordance with paragraph 1, the master may suspend the schedule of hours of work or hours of rest and require a seafarer to perform any hours of work necessary until the normal situation has been restored. 3. As soon as practicable after the normal situation has been restored, the master shall ensure that any seafarers who have performed work in a scheduled rest period are provided with an adequate period of rest. Clause 8 1. Records of seafarers’ daily hours of work or of their daily hours of rest shall be maintained to allow monitoring of compliance with the provisions set out in Clause 5. The seafarer shall receive a copy of the records pertaining to him or her which shall be endorsed by the master, or a person authorised by the master, and by the seafarer. 2. Procedures shall be determined for keeping such records on board, including the intervals at which the information shall be recorded. The format of the records of the seafarers’ hours of work or of their hours of rest shall be established taking into account any available international guidelines. The format shall be established in the language or languages provided by Clause 5, paragraph 8. 3. A copy of the relevant provisions of the national legislation pertaining to this Agreement and the relevant collective agreements shall be kept on board and be easily accessible to the crew. Clause 9 The records referred to in Clause 8, shall be examined and endorsed at appropriate intervals, to monitor compliance with the provisions governing hours of work or hours of rest that give effect to this Agreement. Clause 10 1. When determining, approving or revising manning levels, it is necessary to take into account the need to avoid or minimise, as far as practicable, excessive hours of work, to ensure sufficient rest and to limit fatigue. 2. If the records or other evidence indicate infringement of provisions governing hours of work or hours of rest, measures, including if necessary the revision of the manning of the ship, shall be taken so as to avoid future infringements. 3. All ships to which this Agreement applies shall be sufficiently, safely and efficiently manned, in accordance with the minimum safe manning document or an equivalent issued by the competent authority. No person under 16 years of age shall work on a ship. Clause 11 Clause 12 The shipowner shall provide the master with the necessary resources for the purpose of compliance with obligations under this Agreement, including those relating to the appropriate manning of the ship. The master shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the requirements on seafarers’ hours of work and rest arising from this Agreement are complied with. 17. 2. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 43/15 Clause 13 1. All seafarers shall possess a certificate attesting to their fitness for the work for which they are to be employed at sea. The nature of the health assessment to be made and the particulars to be included in the medical certificate shall be established after consultation with the shipowners’ and seafarers’ organisations concerned. All seafarers shall have regular health assessments. Watchkeepers suffering from health problems certified by a medical practitioner as being due to the fact that they perform night work shall be transferred, wherever possible, to day work to which they are suited. 2. The health assessment referred to in paragraph 1 shall be free and comply with medical confidentiality. Such health assessments may be conducted within the national health system. Shipowners shall provide information on watchkeepers and other night workers to the national competent authority if they so request. Clause 14 Clause 15 Seafarers shall have safety and health protection appropriate to the nature of their work. Equivalent protection and prevention services or facilities with regard to the safety and health of seafarers working by day or by night shall be available. Clause 16 Every seafarer shall be entitled to paid annual leave of at least four weeks, or a proportion thereof for periods of employment of less than one year, in accordance with the conditions for entitlement to, and granting of, such leave laid down by national legislation and or/practice. The minimum period of paid annual leave may not be replaced by an allowance in lieu, except where the employment relationship is terminated. Done at Brussels, 30 September 1998.

text: C 142/146 Journal officiel des Communautés européennes FR 21. 5. 1999 La communication a, en outre, donné lieu à une discussion approfondie lors de la tenue le 25 septembre 1998 à Bruxelles, d’une table ronde réunissant les experts des États membres et de la Commission en matière de santé et de Sida. La Commission transmet directement à l’Honorable Parlementaire et au Secrétariat général du Parlement copie du compte rendu relatif à cette dernière réunion. (1) COM(98) 407 final. (1999/C 142/193) QUESTION ÉCRITE P-3575/98 posée par Ingo Friedrich (PPE) à la Commission (18 novembre 1998) Objet: Achats détaxés pour les fonctionnaires et agents de l’UE 1. 2. 3. Quelle catégorie de fonctionnaires et agents de l’UE peut acheter des produits détaxés? Comment la Commission justifie-t-elle ce régime d’exception? Quelle est la nature et l’ampleur de ce traitement préférentiel? Réponse donnée par M. Liikanen au nom de la Commission (17 décembre 1998) Tout fonctionnaire, agent temporaire et agent auxiliaire bénéficiant d’un contrat d’au moins un an peut bénéficier, lors de sa première prise en fonctions en Belgique au sein d’une des institutions communau- taires, de l’achat hors TVA de certains biens à usage personnel pendant une période de maximum douze mois consécutifs, dans un délai de deux ans, à partir de la première entrée en Belgique. Les biens qui peuvent faire l’objet de cet achat hors TVA et les conditions dans lesquelles ils peuvent être acquis sont déterminés par le ministère belge des Finances. Copie de la liste et des conditions est envoyée directement à l’Honorable Parlementaire ainsi qu’au Secrétariat général du Parlement. Il s’agit ici d’un privilège qui est accordé unilatéralement par la Belgique. La Commission de même que les autres institutions communautaires ayant leur siège en Belgique n’ont aucune influence sur les biens pouvant faire l’objet d’un achat hors TVA ou sur les conditions d’octroi. Il est à noter que le Luxembourg et l’Irlande octroient un privilège similaire aux agents statutaires des Communautés lors de leur première prise de fonction dans ces États membres. À titre d’information, la portée des avantages fiscaux accordés aux fonctionnaires et agents des Communautés a été récemment réduite par l’abolition, d’une part des contingents d’essence détaxée dont bénéficiaient jusqu’en 1997 les fonctionnaires d’encadrement et d’autre part du colis annuel d’alcool et de tabac hors taxes (en principe d’une valeur de 1 800 BEF) alloué aux fonctionnaires. Ces deux mesures ont été prises en 1997 par la Belgique. (1999/C 142/194) QUESTION ÉCRITE E-3675/98 posée par Gerhard Hager (NI) à la Commission (7 décembre 1998) Objet: Budget 1999 Le projet de budget a été adopté en première lecture par le Parlement européen sous le titre de «Budget pour le contribuable». Des efforts ont été consentis pour réaliser des économies, en particulier pour ce qui est des dépenses. En ce qui concerne le Parlement européen, les postes budgétaires ont néanmoins été augmentés de 1,7 % par rapport à l’exercice précédent, la justification étant notamment les coûts supplémentaires liés aux prochaines élections
