The training session provided participants with information on the EU legislation regarding Recognised Organisations (ROs). In addition included practical examples on monitoring and oversight of the ROs based on EMSA’s experience in carrying out inspections, as well as presentations of specific topics of a horizontal nature which EMSA had analysed based on its inspections. Case studies actively engaged the participants and provided them with practical guidance which could be used for their ROs monitoring activities. The training aimed at officials working in maritime administrations and who are actively involved in the monitoring and oversight of ROs.
