Flying remains one of the safest forms of transport, and the EU's accident rate is lower than in the rest of the world. However, it cannot automatically be assumed that such performance will continue, as global air traffic is forecast to double over the next 20 years. New technologies, such as unmanned aircraft (drones), are also appearing in European skies, which require adaption of the current regulatory framework. In December 2015, the European Commission proposed to update aviation safety rules ...

To enhance labour mobility, the European Commission proposed to establish a common system of qualifications for workers on EU inland waterways, based on their competence. While the EU legislation currently applies only to ...

Como parte de sus esfuerzos para reducir las emisiones del transporte, la Unión desea hacer un mejor uso de la navegación interior.

EU directives and regulations have, over the past few years, greatly improved safety standards in sea transport. The improvements were brought about especially by the three legislative packages adopted in the wake of the Erika and Prestige disasters.

Después de la revisión de la legislación de la Unión sobre seguridad de los buques de pasaje, la Comisión Europea propuso una serie de cambios para simplificar las normas existentes y reducir los costes administrativos, aumentando, al mismo tiempo, la seguridad del transporte marítimo. La presente propuesta de Directiva clarifica los requisitos técnicos para la construcción, estabilidad y protección contra incendios de los buques que efectúen rutas nacionales. Las nuevas normas deben prever unas ...

Los buques de pasajeros que operan de forma intensiva deben ser inspeccionados de manera periódica y frecuente. La Comisión Europea revisó la normativa correspondiente de la UE y propuso cambios al objeto de racionalizar los diferentes regímenes de inspección existentes. La presente propuesta forma parte de una iniciativa para modernizar la legislación en materia de seguridad de pasajeros de la UE y reducir la carga administrativa, manteniendo al mismo tiempo un alto nivel de seguridad marítima.

Las disposiciones europeas relativas al transporte marítimo abarcan principalmente la aplicación del principio de libre prestación de servicios y la correcta aplicación de las normas de competencia, al tiempo que velan por un elevado nivel de seguridad, buenas condiciones de trabajo y del medio ambiente.
