"Mr President, Commissioner Vitorino, I should like to make a few observations. Our group has already talked about the consequences of recent events for nuclear power plants and mentioned
a package of measures which is already being discussed in the Committee on Regional Policy, Transport and Tourism. We endorse the quest for common security regulations, such as those formulated in document 30 of the E.C.A.C. What we are mainly concerned with here, in addition to issues of supervision, is adopting a special approach to vulnerable areas. We, of course, are of the opinion that such a debate must in any case be genuine, certainly when it comes to protecting privacy.
I should like to bring one aspect to your attention, for we are concerned here with an extension of the threat to include not only additional targets but also additional modes of transport. I would like to draw your attention to the use of other means of transport – something which we have already noted – such as tankers containing chemicals, and ask the Commissioner for his thoughts on the matter. In shipping too, it is relatively simple to force a ship in a port such as Rotterdam to take a different course and to direct it towards very explosive installations. In other words, not only aviation but also other means of transport should be discussed."@en1
