The Seminar trains the trainer on the upcoming CIC and provides the participants with up to date developments in the Paris MoU specifically updated or new PSCC Instructions, and developments in the European Commission. Also it gives a valuable opportunity to exchange experiences and views with regard to PSC inspections.

The following subjects were discussed:

• • -Paris MoU and ECMSA developments, recent and future developments.
  • • -Train-the-Trainer on the Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) for Emergency Systems and Procedures in 2019
    • -Presentation on a Distance Learning Programme for the CIC
    • -BWM treatment and sampling
    • -Update on the development CIC Stability (2020)
    • -PSC in Germany
• Montenegro is invited to the organisation’s seminars and trainings of the Paris MoU. Funding from EMSA’s project for the Enlargement countries made the participation of one Port State Control Officer from Montenegro to the seminar possible.
• The EU regime on Port State Control (Directive 2009/16/EU) has been based on the pre-existing structure of the Paris MoU, and the progress of the enlargement countries in the Paris MoU context is therefore of high interest of the EU.
