lpv:translated text	"The package of legislative proposals concerning safety at sea is welcome and necessary. This has been demonstrated, not least, by the catastrophe involving the loss of the oil tanker . Supported by the Environment Directorate of the Commission, Finland has attempted to get the Russian authorities to perform an environmental impact assessment in accordance with the Espoo Convention. Unfortunately Russia has not responded to this request. An oil accident would have destructive consequences for the Finnish Gulf and the Baltic. The Baltic is a very vulnerable inland sea, already highly polluted by discharges from industry, sewerage and agriculture. The Commission and the Council must now follow up the request for environmental impact assessments (EIAs) and put it to the Russian authorities that all future oil trade with Russia will be conditional upon an EIA. I have voted in favour of the reports on: a. ship safety, pollution prevention and shipboard living and working conditions in respect of shipping using Community ports b. double hulls for oil tankers c. nature and performance of ship inspection d. accidental or deliberate marine pollution. In addition, I have voted for all the amendments that improve and tighten up the Commission’s proposals. It is particularly important that it is made clear that the polluter-pays principle must apply in full. In recent years there has been a noticeable increase in the number of oil tankers in the Atlantic, the English Channel and the Baltic, as well as elsewhere, which also means an increased risk of accidents with a negative impact on the environment. Oil tanker traffic in the Baltic may now increase dramatically, since Russia is planning a number of oil ports along the Baltic coast, in the Gulf of Finland, in something approaching a major concentration of the Russian oil industry. In the town of Primorski, not far from Viborg, the building of a major oil port for the export of Russian oil has already commenced and a further port is planned in the same area."@en1
