"Mr President, as a Galician and as fisheries coordinator of the majority group in this House, I welcome the decision we have taken for the Commission to attend on Thursday in order to explain to us in the finest detail – because we are going to require the finest details – how this extremely serious accident could have occurred.
Mr President, Galicia is black: its beaches, its coastline, its fauna, its fish, its birds … and the people are facing a black future. I would like to ask you, Mr President, to declare your solidarity, on behalf of this House, with the Spanish and Galician authorities and to address them directly. On Thursday we shall call for aid and an enquiry from the Commission.
I would also like to announce, given that this House, in accordance with the new Rules of Procedure, does not allow us to table resolutions, that through the Committee on Fisheries I shall propose a resolution to establish protected European sea-fishing zones in susceptible areas, which will increase the required distances to be maintained between these zones and ships carrying dangerous goods and bring forward the obligation for this type of ship to have a double hull, which is currently laid down for the year 2015, and I shall call for it to be brought forward to the year 2005.
Mr President, I am telling you this as an Irishman and a Celt: we cannot allow another disaster of this kind to occur in Europe. We must increase control and prevent our environment from being destroyed."@en1
