This new decision is motivated by the later publication of Royal-Decree 804/2014, dated 19th September, establishing a regulatory framework, safety standards and pollution prevention regulations regarding yachts which do not carry more than 12 passengers. The said Royal-Decree establishes additional qualifications to yacht masters so the Spanish Marine Merchant finds it necessary to issue the present Decision in order to confirm that these new qualifications are included in the relevant certificates.
