Commission Decision (EU) 2015/669

of 24 April 2015

repealing Decision 2007/421/EC on the publication of the list of recognised organisations which have been notified by Member States in accordance with Council Directive 94/57/EC

(notified under document C(2015) 2596)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 391/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organisations^f1, and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Decision 2007/421/EC^f2 provided for the Director-General for Energy and Transport to publish in the Official Journal of the European Union an updated list of organisations recognised in compliance with Council Directive 94/57/EC^f3 by 1 July each year.

(2)

Directive 94/57/EC was recast in two separate Community legal documents, namely Directive 2009/15/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council^f4 and Regulation (EC) No 391/2009. That Regulation contains provisions regarding the drawing up and updating of a list of recognised organisations.

(3)

In accordance with Article 4(5) of Regulation (EC) No 391/2009, the Commission draws up and regularly updates a list of the organisations recognised in accordance with that Article and that list is published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(4)

Decision 2007/421/EC became obsolete and should therefore be repealed while an updated list of the organisations recognised in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 391/2009 should be published in the Official Journal of the European Union at regular intervals,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
