Er der grund til at antage, at en bestemt søfartsskole ikke længere opfylder STCW-konventionens krav, meddeler Kommissionen det pågældende land, at anerkendelsen af beviser fra dette land vil blive inddraget inden for en frist på to måneder, medmindre der træffes foranstaltninger til at sikre, at alle STCW-konventionens krav overholdes.
Where there are indications that a particular maritime training establishment no longer complies with the requirements of the STCW Convention, the Commission shall notify the country concerned that recognition of that country’s certificates will be withdrawn in two months’ time unless measures are taken to ensure compliance with all the requirements of the STCW Convention.
