"Madam President, the Conciliation Committee has spoken to us about the living and working conditions on board the ships that arrive in Community ports. I voted for the motion, Madam President, because I remember life on board very well, since at a young age I sailed on board passenger liners between New York and the Bahamas. There are some seamen who live a good life on board once their shift is finished: for instance, the pursers and deck officers dine in the restaurant with the passengers, drink whisky in the passengers’ bar, dance in the ballroom with the female passengers if they are men or male passengers if they are women. In contrast, though, there are the cooks, cabin-boys and helmsmen, who unfortunately live in tiny cabins four metres square and enjoy living conditions that are not quite so pleasant. I really hope that my vote in favour will be useful so that we can take a real interest in living conditions on board ship, but for all seamen and not just some."@en1
