"Mr President-in-Office of the Council, I agree with you when you state that the laws of the International Maritime Organisation must be changed. What we must do now, however, is seek an appropriate strategy with which to do this. We already have the US Oil Pollution Act, which is a step in the right direction. The best strategy for amending, for changing international legislation is to pass a specific European law. The rest will follow as an inevitable consequence. Why not give this a try? Could it perhaps be because some Member States such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Greece are opposed, as happened at the Copenhagen Council? We must bear in mind that there have been no accidents in the United States in the last fifteen years, but there have been in Galicia and in Brittany. There have been accidents in the European Union."@en1
