lpv:translated text	"Mr President, many disasters do admittedly take place, sometimes with reports which make one’s blood run cold, including, for example, the 35 000 deaths in Caracas. The disturbing thing about the disaster, however, following the disaster and so many others before it, is that it was all so predictable. It was all perfectly avoidable since the same causes produce the same effects, and we had identified the causes. The causes are not the trivial details, the lack of technical measures, double hulls, all the petty details that the Greens are so fond of. Just now Mr Piétrasanta offered us an anthology of these petty details. The causes are: the lack of a merchant navy, forcing people to resort to slave ships; the floating wrecks which are to be found in the waters off Athens; the lack of shipyards, causing us to go to Montenegro for ships; the lack of a fiscal and social policy enabling us to compete in the globalised system, and the maritime imperialism which dates back to the time of Grotius of Holland, which involved obstructing everything else in order to preserve Rotterdam. And what does Brussels do instead of bringing in changes? It accepts Malta, the world leader in flags of convenience, as a candidate, in the same way that accepting Turkey would be a sensible course of action in terms of the fight against immigration. I am therefore fearful on behalf of the shellfish farmers, the fishermen, the coastal communities, the wild birds and nature. Yet more Erikas will be wrecked because natural disasters and Erika-type disasters are the offshoots of globalisation, and globalisation is the hidden cargo sailing under the European flag of convenience."@en1
