lpv:translated text	"Along with Mr Bakopoulos, I welcome the European Commission’s proposals, which serve to improve the Community maritime safety policy. Recent disasters have given rise to great public concern . It is up to us, therefore, to take pro-active steps, which will be in contrast to the policy which prevailed until the last few years, both in Europe and in the rest of the world. I would like, moreover, to acknowledge the progress we made in this area during the French Presidency. I am thinking, of course, of the adoption of the package of measures more commonly known as the Erika package. To go back to the report which we are discussing today, I should point out that we discussed two proposals – a proposal for a regulation to set up a regulatory committee, the Committee on Safe Seas, which entails amending the regulations currently in force, and a proposal for a directive amending existing directives to incorporate the Committee on Safe Seas. In real terms, this means that this committee will replace the current committees responsible for maritime safety, a single committee designed to facilitate the implementation of amendments made to the relevant international conventions in force by the Member States. The European Union already has an arsenal of 12 directives and three regulations aimed at stricter enforcement of the rules on maritime safety, the prevention of pollution from ships, the criteria governing the training and formal qualifications of seafarers and working conditions at sea. It is also considered that the new committee will make the Union's maritime safety policy more effective. Although the European Commission’s proposals were acceptable on the whole, the provisions relating to the participation of the European Parliament were unacceptable. That is why the amendments were tabled, in order to maintain Parliament’s rights to participate in the regulatory procedure. In voting in favour of this report, I therefore hope to contribute to the pro-active approach adopted by Europe in order to improve maritime safety."@en1
