lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the has sunk and, once again, half-baked measures designed to prevent further oil slicks are urgently adopted. They will not be enough for the traumatised and angry communities who must deal with several hundred kilometres of polluted beaches, with the destruction of ecosystems, job losses and the threats looming over the entire local economy. The main cause of these repeated disasters is the drastic reduction in sea transport costs, which have dropped by 30% in 10 years. This results in crew members being exploited outrageously, suffering conditions verging on slavery, fleets that are badly maintained and often obsolete still sailing our waters, and all this goes on whilst those responsible are being protected by a web of impenetrable procedures. In short, bold political decisions are needed. The IMO, which authorised the creation and the development of flags of convenience, must now place a ban on them, which will clarify the chain of responsibilities between boat owners, charterers and States, and will make it possible to hold polluters both financially and criminally responsible. Next, a plan must be drawn up to scrap 4 000 boats that you yourself deem to be at risk, Commissioner, which means ship yards must now focus on constructing and developing modern and safe ships. Lastly, under the responsibility of the ILO, binding legislation must be drawn up that is applicable to all crews the world over. A genuine European maritime safety agency, in which the trade unions would be represented, could and should use an adequate number of inspectors in order to monitor ships and crew working conditions."@en1
