The adopted provisions aim to update the mandate of the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) by better reflecting its new tasks regarding maritime safety in the new geopolitical context, sustainability and decarbonisation, as well as trainings. The provisions also ensure a balanced approach toward the governance rules of the Agency

The agreed text is the result of long and extensive negotiations. The co-legislators have reached a balanced compromise on the revision of the founding regulation of the Agency, ensuring that it reflects current needs and realities.

ANNEX: DECLARATION OF INPUT
