The European Union will continue recognizing the certificates of Filipino seafarers, noting its “constructive cooperation” with Philippine authorities in upgrading the maritime workers’ training program and accreditation system. | BPinlacINQ
EU Commissioner for Mobility and Transport Adina Vălean said they “appreciate the constructive cooperation with the Philippine authorities and welcome their efforts to improve the system for training and certifying seafarers.”
She pointed out that the Philippines provides a “significant and valued part” of the European and global shipping industry’s maritime workforce with some 50,000 Filipino seafarers currently working on ships carrying EU flag.“The Philippines can count on our technical support to further improve the implementation and oversight of minimum education, training, and certification requirements, as well as living and working conditions,” Vălean added.
The European Commission said it aims to extend technical assistance to the Philippines to improve the country’s system for seafarer education, training, and certification. It cited the discussion between EU President Ursula von der Leyen and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations-EU Summit in Brussels, Belgium last December.
