lpv:translated text	". The safety of ships, crews and the environment cannot be effectively addressed with fragmentary measures, however important they are, such as the mandatory precondition of double hulls for tankers using ports in the Member States. A real safety policy needs to combat the unaccountability of shipowners, apply substantive measures against infringements of the law, adjust operating positions to today's enhanced requirements and help improve crews' living and working conditions by safeguarding their rights and giving their trades union the power to intervene decisively. Any arrangements must be introduced within the framework of the IMO and the ILO, which should play an essential role in international shipping, without accepting the philosophy of compromise with shipping interests. A typical example of how such interests are served at the expense of the environment are the long transitional periods, without any real justification in terms of security of supply, and the exemption from the double hull requirement for ships over 500 – 600 tonnes. The ΕU is serving the unaccountability of shipowners in the best possible way. One example is that the ship repair industry in Greece, a country with one of the biggest fleets in the world, has almost been wiped out. Positive results against this policy will only be obtained by decisive fighting on the part of workers, seamen and interested regions, especially coastal regions."@en1
