"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the incomparable natural landscape of Galicia’s coasts and the Minho estuary as well as the communities living along the coasts are once again under threat, this time from this appalling shipwreck, which is a veritable showcase of everything that should no longer be happening on our seas. How many more disasters do we need before effective measures are adopted? There is considerable indignation, but this indignation must be followed up with emergency measures; we must not simply wait for these long deadlines for the ‘Erika I’ and ‘Erika II’ packages to be met. Expressing moral solidarity and demonstrating sympathy are not enough; we must act as rapidly as possible and, as I said, adopt emergency measures. There must now be effective solidarity, particularly with the communities of northern Portugal, which will be the first to suffer the consequences of this accident, of this shipwreck, the likes of which must never happen again on our coasts; unless we adopt such measures, the people themselves will make their scepticism about Europe and European governments clear."@en1
