3、1992 made it necessary to harmonise the examination requirements for certificates of maritime radio operators. The CEPT Recommendation TIR 3 1-03 was developed and approved by the ERC in 1993 to harmonise the examination syllabi for maritime radio personnel operating in the GMDSS and the procedures

4、for conversion of non-GMDSS certificates to GMDSS certificates. The efficient operation of GMDSS depends on the proficiency of the maritime radio operators. The Recommendation T/R 3 1-03 concerning the harmonised examination syllabi for the general operators certificate and the restricted operators

5、certificate has proved to be a valuable tool for improving the competence of operators. The importance of the harmonised procedures is emphasised by the fact that part of the content of T/R 31-03 has been adopted by the IMO into the Model Training Course. Some parts of T/R 31-03 are not relevant any

6、 more, notably the temporary procedures for limited examination. Since the period of validity of the limited examinations has ended, these procedures have not been included in the ERC Decision. In addition to the examination syllabi described in this Decision an,ERC Recommendation on the content and

7、 format of GOC and ROC certificates is under preparation. 2 NEED FOR AN ERC DECISION Unfortunately serious operational mistakes still take place on GMDSS frequencies, e.g. in the form of false distress alerts and incorrect distress relays. .In order to alleviate these problems, the status of the GOC

8、 and ROC examination syllabi needs to be enhanced. The 17th meeting of ERC in June 1996 recognised that more efficient provisions than a Recommendation are required and approved in the Work Programme of WGFS the work item of converting T/R 31-03 to an ERC Decision. After the implementation of the ER

9、C Decision mechanism, the normal outcome of ERC should be in the format of a Decision. Decisions are presumed to be used in matters of significant harmonisation in the radiocommunications regulatory field. The importance of efficient and timely implementation of the GMDSS system requires the Recomme

10、ndation TIR 31- 03 to be converted to a Decision.
