Aim of the present Decree is to adopt the Greek legislative framework to the provisions of Council Directive 94/57/EC establishing common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organizations and for the relevant activities of maritime administrations. The Decree establishes measures to be followed by the competent authorities and bodies concerned with the inspection, survey and safety certification of ships for compliance with the international conventions on safety at sea and prevention of marine pollution, while furthering the objective of freedom to provide services. This process includes the development and implementation of safety requirements for hull, machinery and electrical and control installations of ships falling under the scope of the international conventions (article 1). The Ministry of Merchant Shipping shall set out a working relationship between its competent administration and the organizations acting on its behalf. The working relationship shall be regulated by a formalized written agreement setting out the specific duties and functions assumed by the organizations (article 6). The Decree adopts the provisions of articles 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15 of the Directive.
