After over a year that the fate of Filipino seafarers have hung in the balance, the EU has finally concluded that it will continue to recognize the certificates of the PH's world-class sailors. ManilaBulletin READ:
In a statement, EU Commissioner for Transport Adina Vălean said they appreciated the constructive cooperation of Philippine authorities and welcome their efforts to improve the system for training and certifying seafarers.
In the coming months, the Commission intends to provide the Philippines with technical assistance to further improve its education, training, and certification system for seafarers. This was discussed by President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on the sidelines of the EU-ASEAN summit last December.
At least 50,000 Filipino seafarers working in European vessels were put at risk after the European Maritime Safety Agency found that the Philippines had not complied with international maritime safety standards.
