lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we should not forget that everything which we condemn here is due to the fact that shipping is, by definition, a globalised sector and has been for a long time. It is dynamic and disorganised and the risks inherent in it are those inherent in the global economy as a whole. It is not properly regulated. And there is nothing which international organisations such as the IMO or technology, black boxes and so on can do to provide this sort of regulation. Naturally, we shall be voting in favour of everything our fellow Members have proposed because these are important steps. But what we really need is an integrated, organised policy of intervention and regulation on the right scale, or at least on a European scale, which is why, Commissioner, we hope that the second or third package which you present to us will contain provisions in this direction – surveys, inspectors, coastguards, ports, installations and fines for those who do what they do on the high seas, because quite simply, the fines cost less than doing the job properly in port. But these measures need to be taken at European level and applied by everyone, rather than varying from country to country. Finally, everything we have said in our amendments in support of social and working conditions on board ships is quite simply a question of social and political solidarity. It is also a question of efficiency. The accidents which occurred in Greece, all of them were due in the end to so-called human error by people who were tired, who were sleepy, who had been working three days without a break and, so of course, they resulted in what has been so hypocritically referred to as so-called error."@en1
