In the year 2010 which marks the year of seafarers, Spain has ratified the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 of the International Labour Organization. Becoming the first EU member to ratify. This important Maritime Labour Convention, also called “super convention”, was adopted by the 94th (Maritime) Session of the International Labour Conference held in Geneva in February 2006. To ratify the MLC, 2006, Spain implemented a decision of the Council of the European Union 2007, which allows member countries to ratify in the interests of the European Community and invites them to do so before December 31, 2010.
