lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, the consequences of the disaster affect us all. Neither the crew, nor the coastal inhabitants in Spain and France, nor the Members of this Parliament can get this drama and its consequences out of their minds. For some, this report means the end of the Parliamentary debate on the matter of the ‘ ’. There is much that we do not yet know, however; there are many questions that remain unanswered, and that is disappointing. It has been suggested that the Spanish authorities could have limited the damage. That is why we support the request to carry out a more in-depth investigation into these facts in order to put paid to the gossip and smears once and for all. This investigation is also needed to help us take the best possible precautionary measures to prevent a disaster like this from happening again. The rapporteur deserves much praise for his report. It is extremely complete and contains a great deal of knowledge about the events. I particularly agree with the need for suitably equipped safe havens. I also agree with the requirement for oil tankers to be double-hulled and the requirement for an emergency action plan. I do, however, have considerable difficulty with the way in which the damage is recouped, partly because we are still unaware of the motivation of certain parties. We would have to mobilise all the Community resources to obtain compensation. These do, however, form an excellent enhancement of the initiatives of the various Member States. There are also international rules for this type of compensation. For the time being, I do not consider contributions from the Solidarity Fund to be appropriate."@en1
