(4)Parts of the rules under the Convention and the amendments are falling within the Union's competence and concern matters in respect of which the Union has adopted rules. The amendments will interplay with existing acquis, in particular in the areas of social policy and transport. In particular, most of the provisions of the Convention have been the subject of Council Directive 2009/13/EC of 16 February 2009 implementing the Agreement concluded by the European Community Shipowners' Associations (ECSA) and the European Transport Workers' Federation (ETF) on the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, and amending Directive 1999/63/ECnote. The implementation of the Convention in the Union is further ensured by Directive 2009/16/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on ‘Port State Control’note, as amended by Directive 2013/38/EU of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote and the ‘Flag State Directive’ 2013/54/EU of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote enforcing the Annex to Directive 2009/13/EC.
