The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report contains no reply to its previous comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the following matters raised in its previous direct request.

Article 4 of the Convention. Specimen of seaman’s book. The Committee requests once again the Government to provide a specimen (not a photocopy) of the seafarers’ book currently being used in the country.

Article 2(2) read in conjunction with Article 5. Right of return of foreign seafarers. Further to its previous comment, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that all seafarers, irrespective of nationality, have the right to return. The Committee requests the Government to specify the provisions in the national legislation or other measures granting foreign seafarers holding a valid Romanian seafarers’ identity document the right of return as set forth in Article 5 of the Convention.

Article 6(1). Permission of entry without visa into Romanian territory. In its previous comment, the Committee had requested the Government to indicate whether non-EU holders of seafarers’ identity documents are required to present passports with valid visas, when entry is requested for the purposes of shore leave or transit. The Committee notes that the Government had referred to Regulation (EC) No. 562 of the European Parliament and the Council of 15 March 2006 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code). Section 3 of Annex VII of this Regulation provides that “Member States may authorize seamen holding a seafarer’s identity document issued in accordance with the ILO Seafarers’ Identity Documents Convention, 1958 (No. 108), or the Seafarers’ Identity Documents Convention (Revised), 2003 (No. 185), the Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic (FAL Convention) and the relevant national law, to enter the territory of the member States by going ashore to stay in the area of the port where their ships call or in the adjacent municipalities, or exit the territory of the member States by returning to their ships, without presenting themselves at a border crossing point, on condition that they appear on the crew list, which has previously been submitted for checking by the competent authorities, of the ship to which they belong”. The Committee takes note of this information.
