lpv:translated text	". I am pleased that agreement has finally been reached at arbitration on the three major measures contained in the Erika 1 package. We have debated and negotiated at length, and it is now time for the implementation and enforcement of the legislation. As regards the report on the classification bureaux, the most important subject for the Liberals too was liability. In the first and second readings we argued for a ceiling on the liability of classification bureaux, since the latter organisations are only one element in the chain of liability. Unlimited liability is in our view only justified where there is gross negligence. In addition, a ceiling ensures that eventually the fairly closed markets for classification and statutory tasks will become more open and a more level playing field will be created. At present, new classification bureaux can scarcely compete with the existing (national) organisation under a regime of unlimited liability. In order to avoid undermining the Erika 1 package and to retain the gain for Parliament brought by the Watts report (voyage data recorders on ships), at third reading, the Liberals accepted with reservations the proposal that Member States should be free in their negotiations with classification bureaux to agree higher, unlimited liability. The result of this, however, will have to be evaluated by the European Commission. The Liberals are pleased that extra guarantees have been built into the Regulation to prevent any entanglement of interests between a classification bureau and the owner of a vessel being monitored. The bureau must now be completely independent, which stands to reason."@en1
