lpv:translated text	"Mr President, maritime safety is one of the challenges included in the Commission’s working programme for 2003. Unfortunately, we are currently facing the terrible accident involving the off the coast of Galicia, which makes this working principle all the more evident. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Commission, by means of its Vice-President, on its rapid reaction and its cooperation with the Spanish and Galician authorities in relation to this dramatic event. I would also like to acknowledge the Commissioner for Transport and the European Parliament’s Committee on Regional Policy, Transport and Tourism, who have approved the Erika I and Erika II packages, which, had they already been applied, could perhaps have helped us to prevent an accident of this nature. In this respect, I would like to point out that the Directive on the monitoring of traffic – yet to be transposed – in Article 20, lays down the definition of areas of refuge, which, although they are vague, would allow vessels with problems to reach them to try to resolve them. We have examples such as the which was not authorised by the French authorities to enter the port of Saint Nazaire, or now the not authorised to enter Galician ports, clearly due to the high ecological value of that coast. There should be further proposals for the creation of areas of refuge out to sea, sufficiently close so that vessels with problems can reach them and sufficiently far from coasts to prevent serious ecological problems, but which allow for immediate naval rescue actions with technical resources, both aerial and marine. And the measure, Madam Vice-President, if included in the Commission’s programme, could be applied urgently without the need to wait for transposition of the directive."@en1
