The Kingdom of Spain by the Instrument of Accession, given in Madrid on 28 November 2008, and its subsequent deposit with the International Maritime Organization has become a Party to the International Convention on Standards of training, certification and training for the staff of fishing vessels, done in London on 7 July 1995 (STCW-F 1995). This Convention, published in the "BOE" of 16 March 2012 and the date of its entry into force on 29 September 2012, aims to promote the safety of human life at sea and the protection of the marine environment by establishing international standards. in order to ensure that staff engaged in marine fishing vessels have the appropriate competence and competence to perform their duties.

In general, the training established in the national regulations on nautical fishing qualifications meets the requirements of the Convention. However, some sections of the Spanish training must be modified to adapt to the international standard, and as in addition the STCW-F 1995 incorporates provisions on: inspection, titles and endorsements, information communication, Recognition of foreign qualifications and waivers that national regulations do not collect, it is necessary to modify the latter in order to adapt Spanish legislation to the new developments that the Convention establishes at international level.

The professional nautical qualifications are currently regulated by Royal Decree 662/1997 of 12 May 1997 laying down the minimum requirements for the exercise of the activity of a local fishing employer and This is the case in point where the Commission has not yet taken a decision on the question of whether or not it is necessary for the Commission to be able to do so. On the other hand, the title of Captain of Fishing is governed by Royal Decree 1833/2004 of 27 August, laying down the requirements for obtaining the title of fishing captain and the privileges conferred by it; and the card of Marinero Fisherman by Royal Decree 1519/2007 of 16 November establishing the minimum knowledge and requirements for the exercise of the professional activity of seafarers on fishing vessels. In addition to the above mentioned standards, Royal Decree 2017/2004 of 11 October on the privileges of the standard of first class fishing standard for high-altitude fishing patterns is also in force.

The time since the publication of the actual decrees cited in the previous paragraph, made it necessary to introduce changes in some of them to adapt them to the evolution of the sector; as a consequence, the regulations on fishing nautical degrees has been amended several times. Royal Decree 930/1998 sets out today the changes introduced by the royal decrees: 1437/2003 of 31 October, amending Royal Decree 930/1998 of 14 May on general conditions for the suitability and titration of certain professions of the merchant marine and fisheries sector; 653/2005 of 6 June 2005 amending Royal Decree 930/1998 of 14 May 1998 on general conditions for the suitability and certification of certain professions in the merchant and the (a) fishing sector; and finally, by Royal Decree 2008/2009 of 23 December 2009, for which the amend Royal Decree 930/1998 of 14 May on general conditions for the suitability and certification of certain professions in the merchant marine and fisheries sector. For its part, Royal Decree 662/1997 was amended by Royal Decree 1548/2004 of 25 June 2004 amending Royal Decree 662/1997 of 12 May 1997 laying down the minimum requirements for the exercise of professional activity in the field of public health Local fishing pattern and multi-purpose coastal pattern. Finally, it should be noted that Royal Decree 1519/2007 was reformed by Royal Decree 884/2011 of 24 June 2011 amending Royal Decree 1519/2007 of 16 November establishing the minimum knowledge and requirements for the exercise the professional activity of a sailor on fishing vessels.

As a result of the above mentioned in the previous paragraph and the modification of the regulations in force before the years 1997 and 1998, it is the existence of a dispersed regulation which, due to the evolution of the sector, is advisable reunify and retouch.

On the other hand, the Government has issued Royal Decree 1533/2011 of 31 October establishing seven certificates of professionalism of the professional maritime family, which are included in the national repertoire of certificates of professionalism, and Royal Decree 1774/2011 of 2 December 2011 establishing four certificates of professionalism of the professional maritime family, which are included in the National Directory of certificates of professional. Both standards set out certain certificates of professionalism of the professional maritime family, and the training established in one of them, could be equivalent to that provided for in obtaining the professional qualifications of the multi-purpose coastal pattern and local fishing pattern, as well as the necessary to obtain the title of fisherman seaman. In view of the fact that the issue of fishing professional qualifications is a matter for the autonomous communities, this rule establishes the channel through which the local authorities may issue a certificate. professional to the holders of certain certificates of professionalism.

In addition, it is considered necessary to clarify the privileges of the merchant marine graduates on fishing vessels, to determine the convalidations and equivalences corresponding to the qualifications issued prior to the publication of the actual decrees 662/1997 and 930/1998, and finally provide for possible validation of qualifications issued by the Ministry of Defence; these issues are intended to be addressed by the present rule.

Taking into account the above mentioned background, it is considered necessary to adopt a new text which, as a basic rule for the qualifications of the fisheries sector, refounds the existing dispersed rules and incorporates the legal acquis The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for the Personnel of Fishing Vessels, made in London on July 7, 1995.

This royal decree is dictated by the provisions of article 42 of Law 3/2001, of March 26, of Maritime Fisheries of the State, which states that the Government, on a proposal from the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, regulate the qualifications of professionals in the sector, within the framework of the general education system, by establishing the suitability requirements and the professional privileges corresponding to each qualification, without prejudice to the powers of the Ministry of Development.

In its virtue, on the proposal of the Minister of Agriculture and Environment, in agreement with the Council of State and after deliberation of the Council of Ministers at its meeting of the day of January 24, 2014,

DISPONGO:
