Directive 2009/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 establishing the fundamental principles governing the investigation of accidents in the maritime transport sector and amending Council Directive 1999/35/EC and Directive 2002/59/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance) article 12 CELEX: 02009L0018-20241226 Cooperation with substantially interested third countries
1. Member States shall cooperate, to the maximum extent possible, with other substantially interested third countries in safety investigations. 2. Substantially interested third countries shall, by mutual agreement, be allowed to join a safety investigation led by a Member State under this Directive at any stage of the investigation. 3. The cooperation of a Member State in a safety investigation conducted by a substantially interested third country shall be without prejudice to its compliance with the conduct and reporting requirements of safety investigations under this Directive. Where a substantially interested third country is leading a safety investigation involving one or more Member States, those Member States may decide not to conduct a parallel safety investigation, provided that the safety investigation led by the third country is conducted in accordance with the IMO Casualty Investigation Code. In such cases, Article 14 shall not apply to the safety investigation authorities. |
