lpv:translated text	". In 10 years, almost 150 bulk carriers have sunk, causing 800 deaths. This is the tragic record of a sector which has been abandoned to the laws of competition and the market. Like the rapporteur, I consider that the physical condition of the ships and the incompetence of the crew are the chief factors behind these wrecks. So, in the first place, we have to do something about inspecting these ships, their crews and shipboard working and living conditions. I therefore support any binding measures to improve safety standards, port State inspections and to ensure that loading and unloading terminals and masters are aware of their responsibilities. For that, however, we have to set aside human and financial resources to actually implement the legislation in the Member States, particularly by increasing the number of inspectors. Moreover, if we are to tackle the impunity from prosecution and leniency which prevail in maritime transport then we also have to drive home the message that shippers and shipowners are responsible too, if necessary by providing ourselves with the means to enforce judicial and financial penalties. I shall vote in favour of all the proposals to that end."@en1
