Community ports: vessels carrying dangerous or polluting goods (amend. Directive 93/75/EEC)

Commissioner Flynn said that Amendments Nos 2 (introducing a reference to the INF Code of the International Maritime Organisation) and 4 on the committee procedure could be accepted. However, Amendments Nos 1 and 3 were not acceptable: the first, which also concerned the committee procedure, was completely superfluous as the common position already stated that amendments adopted by committee could not alter the requirements of the directive; the second, which introduced a notification requirement for vessels in transit off the coast of Member States, could not be accepted for reasons of consistency.
