Since 2013, the Agency has continued to expand its tasks significantly, through the activation of relevant ancillary tasks provided for in Article 2a of Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 and through requests for technical assistance to the Commission and the Member States, in particular in the area of decarbonisation and digitalisation of the maritime sector. In addition, amendments to Directives 2005/35/EC, 2009/16/EC, 2009/18/EC and 2009/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council have had a direct impact on the tasks of the Agency. Those Directives provide in particular for the performance of tasks by the Agency relating to ship-source pollution, the port State control regime at Union level, the Member States’ activities concerning the investigations related to maritime accidents in Union waters and the obligations of the Member States as flag States.
