2、S OF THE GLOBAL MARITIME DISTRESS AND SAFETY SYSTEM ON A NON- Recommendation proposed by the Working Group “Radio Regulatory“ (RR) Text of the Recommendation adopted by the “European Radiocommunications Committee (ERC): INTRODUCTION The start of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS)
3、 in February 1992 has made it necessary to harmonise the examination requirements for certificates of maritime radio operators. Harmonised examination procedures for the General Operators Certificate and Restricted Operators Certificate have already been introduced for maritime radio operators perfo
4、rming radicommunication duties on board vessels subject to SOLAS. The GMDSS is to be fully implemented by February 1999 for vessels subject to SOLAS. For vessels not subject to SOLAS, it is becoming clear that it would not be practicable to keep the old distress and safety system running in parallel
5、 with the GMDSS indefinitely. This Recommendation describes the examination procedures for maritime radio personnel on board vessels which use the fiequencies and techniques of the GMDSS on a non-compusory basis. “The European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations, considering
6、that the Maritime Mobile Service and the Maritime Mobile-Satellite Service are services according to the ITU Radio Regulations (Article 1) and governed by the ITU Radio Regulations and national regulations, that provisions of the GMDSS, closely related to the Maritime Mobile Service and the Maritime
7、 Mobile-Satellite Service, are also given in SOLAS and other intemational conventions and resolutions, that it is desirable to establish common standards of competence for the personnel of stations of the Maritime Mobile Service and the Maritime Mobile-Satellite Service operating in accordance with
8、the GMDSS, that the GMDSS entered into force on 1 February 1992, that Administrations are responsible, in accordance with Article 56 of the ITU Radio Regulations, to ensure that the personnel of ship stations and ship earth stations operating in accordance with the GMDSS are adequately qualified to
9、enable efficient operation of the station, that Article 56 also requires the radio personnel of vessels for which a radio installation is not compulsory under international agreements and which use the fiequencies and techniques of the GMDSS to be adequately qualified in accordance with the Administ
