Press Release: Modern marine equipment rules for safer EU ships

On 15 April 2014, the European Parliament adopted the Commission's proposed new Directive on marine equipment.

Better rules on marine equipment in the EU will result in safer journeys for the ships and their crew, less red tape for Member States, reduced costs for business, and increased competitiveness of the EU industry.
