lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, this directive and this proposal have their own personality. We began with the rapporteur’s positions, which gradually changed and which at the moment are being transformed by Parliament’s vote. I must firstly congratulate the rapporteur on doing his job, which is to defend the position of Parliament and not his initial position. Furthermore, these negotiations have helped us to understand that Parliament must respect the Commission’s exclusive powers of legislative initiative. Some Members have tried to introduce proposals, but this has not been possible, which I believe is positive, because we must all respect everybody else’s role. This directive attempts to open up a European area of transport, which is absolutely essential, because at the moment the State areas are of no use to us. This directive, with its proposal to open up the market, attempts to stimulate a mode of transport which is very positive in terms of its relationship with the environment. Until now, maritime transport, apart from the transport of oil and dangerous goods, has been secondary, but it provides the possibility of improving European transport from the point of view of the environment, congestion and safety. We have already had experience of access to the market in relation to other means of transport and there have been no dramas or traumas; therefore, what there has been is an increase in their management capacity. It is true that, at the moment, with the proposals in the directive, we are not talking about reducing the number of jobs in ports. We are talking about increasing the number of workers in ports while making them more efficient. We must also forget the idea that liberalisation and lack of safety go hand in hand. Aviation is a mode of transport in which safety is vital and nobody can claim that its liberalisation reduces safety. Let us not forget, Mr President, that Parliament has made a great effort to bring its position closer to yours. In conciliation you must now reciprocate in relation to self-loading and pilotage."@en1
