In reply to Mrs Myller’s question, may I say that the Council considers that maritime transport is a global sector
and it therefore wants to see the rules governing it applied as widely as possible. Thus, as the honourable lady Member said, I agree that it would be a good idea if the candidate countries and other neighbouring countries, including Russia, could apply the same principles as are in force in the European Union.
The Council, to be specific the Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Council, followed precisely this approach in its conclusions on 6 December 2002. It approved conclusions on the maritime security and the prevention of pollution following the accident of the oil tanker
off the coast of Galicia. It also took note of the Commission’s intention to take the necessary steps, in cooperation with Member States, to ensure that EU candidate countries, as well as other neighbouring countries, including Russia, only ship heavy grades of oil in double-hulled tankers. The Council also supports the Commission in its efforts to investigate the potential for technical cooperation programmes to assist neighbouring countries – in particular the applicant countries, Russia and within the EURO-MED framework – in their efforts to increase maritime safety and pollution prevention, including the effective application of adequate port state control procedures.
Finally, the Commission pointed out to the Council during the course of this meeting that it considered that it was in a position, within the framework of the existing agreement with the countries I referred to, to conclude these efforts."@en1
