lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first of all, I want to congratulate the rapporteur on a commendable result. I do not normally make a habit of doing this here in Parliament but, since there is good reason for doing so on this occasion, I would thank the rapporteur and the others who have worked on this report. As Mr Stenmarck said, we are familiar with this system from the cooperation that has taken place in the Baltic. Since March 1998, the Baltic Recommendation has taken such a system for granted. I should like to say, however, that the agreement is in certain respects a disappointment in the perspective of what has happened in the Baltic. I should also like to refer to the law we have passed in Finland which stipulates that the fee ought not to depend upon how much waste the vessel leaves at the port. In Finland, we have had such a system for waste oil since 1 June. In that respect, the agreement is a disappointment. In the last few days, we have learned that, even when it comes to grey water and pollution which is eutrophic in its effects, intentional and unintentional discharges from vessels are the main sources of pollution in the Baltic. We are used to the fact that the polluter-pays principle does not operate in the case of oil, but there are problems too when it comes to eutrophy caused in other ways. We are aware that everyone has been exposed to tough lobbying from the port organisation in Europe which has consistently set its face against this proposal. The outcome is, therefore, nonetheless a good one. However, it will be extremely important to follow up the proposal. The Commissioner is known to have a major interest in the sea and in obtaining a clean environment. It is important that the follow-up should be carried out seriously so that any supplementary measures can be taken, if need be. This is a first step, but I would observe that it is important that we should have stricter conditions for the Baltic, which is perhaps far and away the most sensitive inland sea in Europe."@en1
