Programme for EMSA’s inspection visits , vessel monitoring , pollution activities
During its first meeting of 2013, on 19-20 March, EMSA’s Administrative Board discussed the preliminary 2014 Work Programme, taking account of the revised
founding regulation.
The Agency will continue with its programme of inspection visits and its vessel monitoring and pollution activities, which remain its core tasks. The multi-annual staff policy for 2014-2016 was also on the agenda, as well as the revision of the Agency’s five-year strategy.
The Board members were given an overview of the proposed scope of the revision exercise by the Chairman of the steering group appointed for this exercise and will have a more detailed discussion at the June meeting. The finalisation of the revision is planned for November 2013.
Lastly, the Board was introduced to SafeMed 3, an EU-funded project starting in mid-June which will see EMSA play a key role in maritime training and safety in the Southern Mediterranean region.
