28. 22Member States • 32non-EU countries Inspected Countries (as of July 2011)

33. STCW-IS: Supporting tool

34. STCW-IS Objectives in Phase 2 • The total number of CoCs issued by country? • The total number of EU certified seafarers? • The number of seafarers from third countries serving on board ships flying the flag of an EU Member State? • The Age profile of EU seafarers? Whatis?

35. STCW-IS Objectives in Phase 2 • The number of cadets from MET institutions versus the age profileof existing seafarers? • The real shortage of EU seafarers? • The impact will face the EU shipping industry if EC will decide to withdraw the recognition of CoCs issued by a third country? • The trends on seafarers supply in EU?
