". The aim of the directive, which is to establish common rules for sea ports in order to increase their role in terms of transport and give them pride of place in intermodality, by means of transparent access to port services, must not be achieved regardless of the cost, in other words by forsaking a high level of maritime safety, effective environmental protection and satisfactory employment conditions for workers in this sector. The directive under examination, however, calls into question the social rights of workers, the subject of self-help being the paradigmatic example: it would allow self-handling to be entrusted to ‘land-based personnel’ employed by shipowners, which would probably lead to this work being taken away from professional docker workers and other qualified technical personnel and given instead to cheaper, unqualified workers. The risks of social dumping are clear. I shall therefore vote to reject this directive, a position that will certainly not be shared by the majority of the EP. That is why I shall then vote for any amendments that seek to increase the protection of workers provided for by the text."@en1
