"Mr President, pleasure boats generate a great deal of noise and pollution. In my city, Amsterdam, the dozens of boats create far more stench than the tens of thousands of cars. I therefore welcome the fact that the European Commission, at the instigation of the Scandinavian and German boat industry, want to improve that situation. The modest Commission proposals, however, have been watered down by a majority of the Christian-Democrats and the Liberals in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy. The Group of the Greens has tabled one correction amendment. We are counting on the Christian-Democrats and the Liberals, who care about the environment, to wake up and no longer to tag along behind the Conservative rapporteur, Mr Callanan. If they were to continue to back him, that would be a blot on the European Parliament’s green escutcheon. What is worse, we in Amsterdam, as elsewhere in Europe, would continue to be faced with the noise and stench of the pleasure boats on and around the water."@en1
