".
There is no shortage of substantial reasons and even imperatives for us to adopt increasingly stringent measures in the field of maritime navigation safety.
The occurrence, in a very short space of time, of two major disasters, the
and the
and having to deal with the variety and gravity of their consequences showed us all how crucial it is for decisions to be taken in this field. We have all become aware of the intolerable conditions under which many vessels still sail with dangerous and highly polluting loads. For this reason, this new proposal is particularly appropriate given the much-vaunted requirement for double hulls.
Furthermore, and as the European Commission study was charged with demonstrating, rapidly eliminating single hull tankers, as is proposed, will not lead to a substantial reduction in capacity for oil and, as the rapporteur states, the capacity and international recognition of European shipyards could even benefit by having new vessels to build.
I also agree with the rapporteur’s assertion that we must extend the implementation of the proposals now proposed by the European Commission to the International Maritime Organisation, firmly promoting the necessary negotiations in this field.
I have therefore voted in favour of the report."@en1
