§ Mr. Don FosterTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment his Department has made of the level of(a) submission and (b) publication of self-assessment forms from flag states on shipping criteria and performance indicators; and what action is planned in this area. [86081]
§ Mr. JamiesonForty-nine Member States (including the UK) have so far submitted their completed Self-Assessment Forms to IMO. That is a disappointing rate of return. The UK encourages those Member States that have not yet completed and published their Self-Assessment Forms to do so.
The UK and other Member States have brought to IMO a proposal for the introduction of a voluntary Model Audit Scheme, to assess the effectiveness of Member States' implementation and enforcement of relevant IMO safety and pollution prevention Convention standards.
