"Mr President, Commissioner, the reality of the situation cannot be denied. We cannot turn our backs on the consequences of the
disaster. Fuel oil is still washing up on the coasts of Galicia and in the Bay of Biscay; a week ago I saw this situation for myself, in the Rostro sandbanks at Cape Finisterre. The
is still lying at the bottom of the sea. It is haemorrhaging fuel oil and we do not really know what it contains. Fishermen, scientists and Galician and Cantabrian society as a whole are all extremely concerned at the damage that has already taken place and crucially, at the uncertainty of what the future holds.
Objective studies state that the final balance of the damage caused by the
will exceed EUR three billion. Compare these sums, Commissioner, with those you have just mentioned, which are totally inadequate. I therefore put the question to you once again: is the Commission going to remain passive or is it going to take the bull by the horns once and for all and shoulder its responsibilities in order to solve this very real problem and to impose some order on the unregulated traffic that plies our seas?"@en1
