Amendment 107 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 24
(24) In order to provide minimum harmonised standards for the certification of qualifications and to facilitate the exchange of information between Member States and the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of this Directive by the Commission, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission as regards the setting of standards of competence, standards for medical fitness, standards for practical examinations, standards for the approval of simulators and standards defining the characteristics and conditions of use for a database kept by the Commission to host a copy of key data related to Union certificates of qualifications, service record books, logbooks and recognised documents. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council. For reason of efficiency, the Commission should have the possibility to designate a body, such as CESNI, for the purpose of receiving notifications and publishing information related for example, to the list of competent authorities and approved training programmes considering the recurrent character of these tasks.
