OK, u okviru pripreme za inspekciju po Maritime Labor Convention, dobili smo skripte u kojima, između ostalog, piše koja pitanja se mogu očekivati i šta će se proveravati.
Ovo mi je privuklo pažnju, a odnosi se na agencije:
• May ask a representative number of seafarers to ensure that they have not been charged any fees
• May ask to a representative number of seafarers if they are aware of any blacklisting instituted by the manning agencies
• May ask to a representative numbers of seafarers if they were made aware of their rights and duties by the agency
I kasnije u tekstu ima ovo:
Use of any licensed or certified or regulated private recruitment and placement service (Reg. 1.4)
– Every effort will be carried out in order to make certain that only agencies and placement services duly certified in accordance with the requirements of MLC 2006 are given preferential status. In case an agency does not have the required certification, an audit program has been compiled to ensure that MLC 2006 requirements are met. Such program will be followed during Company’s sanctioned audits carried out by Carnival Cruise Lines or by an entity retained for such services. Review shall be carried out on a bi-annual basis.
