It was necessary to link the individual sections of the directive with the IMO requirements and other documents from the third maritime package and, at the same time, to use the provisions of other binding documents that are in force in the European Union, e.g. in the area of the confidentiality of personal data.
Oli tarvis ühendada direktiivi üksikud osad IMO nõuete ning teiste kolmanda merepaketi dokumentidega ning samal ajal kasutada teiste Euroopa Liidus kehtivate siduvate dokumentide sätteid, nt isikuandmete konfidentsiaalsuse valdkonnas.
