"Following the shipwreck of the oil tanker ‘
’, the Commission submitted a second set of measures, including the proposed regulation on establishing a European Maritime Safety Agency. This new agency will provide the Member States and the Commission with the technical and scientific support necessary to enable them to apply Community legislation effectively.
In formulating its Common Position, the Council has generally stuck to the spirit and objectives of the proposed regulation, that is, solving the safety problems of sea transport and protecting the marine environment. This Common Position therefore expresses our most urgent desire, which is to reinforce both the safety of sea transport and the protection of the marine environment. For that essential reason I shall be supporting this Common Position.
Of course, one may deplore the fact that it was not possible to tackle the issue of where this Agency should have its seat, and one may think that the option of excluding representatives of the professional sectors and replacing them with professionals nominated by the Commission does tend to distance this Common Position from the proposals made by the Commission and Parliament. Nevertheless, I shall vote in favour of Mr Mastorakis’ report, which approves that position.
Two and a half years after the wreck of the ‘
’, there must be no further delay in putting into practice such important measures."@en1
