Repetition Articles 3 and 4 of the Convention. Ship’s cook certificate of qualification. Examinations for the granting of certificates of qualification. The Committee takes note that a comparative analysis of the MLC, 2006, and national legislation was carried out with the Office’s assistance, and that the MLC, 2006, is before the Popular National Assembly for consideration. The Committee further notes that, in its earlier comments, it had emphasised that Convention No. 69 only allows the competent authority – not the captain – to grant exemptions from the obligation of the ship’s cook to hold a certificate of qualification, and solely in the event of an inadequate supply of certified ships’ cooks. The Committee had also recalled that it is for the national authority to make arrangements for the holding of examinations and for the granting of certificates of qualification.
