lpv:translated text	"Madam President, thank you for the condolences which you sent on behalf of the European Parliament; you spoke for all of us. Unfortunately, these 79 or 80 victims fell foul of large, profit-seeking shipowners. However much some people are trying to blame the crew, the fact remains that the vessel was over 35 years old, that it should not, in fact, have been sailing and that it sank extremely quickly, preventing more people from being saved. The unaccountability of shipowners is and always has been defended by successive Greek governments. This is not the first time, it is the umpteenth time that victims have died and not one Greek government has taken steps to prevent further accidents. Finally, I should like to say that I was impressed by the Socialist Group’s refusal to discuss the matter in an urgent debate. Apart from the fact that we cannot go into the issue in depth in an urgent debate, this accident was too serious, 80 people lost their lives, and I think that the European Parliament in particular is obliged to take an immediate position."@en1
