lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, the terrible accident involving the off the coasts of Galicia and the enormous damage caused to the Galician people, to their land, their sea and their ecosystems, have received a vigorous response from the European Parliament and a practical one in the form of Mr Sterckx’s report. The one hundred and twelve measures proposed guarantee that things will be brought up to date, and provide for the actions necessary for us to free ourselves from the fear of serious and avoidable dangers such as the accident and other previous ones – resulting from transporting dangerous cargoes under maritime safety conditions as precarious and shameful as those which led to the and other previous accidents. We therefore need international and national measures, but above all we need the laws to be enforced and respected scrupulously from the outset. To this end, controls must be strict and sanctions vigorous. In this regard, I believe that Amendment No 12, presented by several Members on behalf of the PPE, calling for an examination of the application of the and packages is timely and complements the measures proposed in the Sterckx report, and furthermore to a certain extent is going to highlight the enormous support that the Commission, and in particular the Commissioner herself, has given to this issue. I do not believe that Amendment No 11 from Mr Sterckx improves his report. What it does is to get into a game which, as Mr Ripoll has just quite rightly pointed out, will come to an end the day the elections take place in Spain. We do not want to see any more accidents like this one. We want the environment to be respected and protected, since in many cases it provides the main source of economic and social stability for its people. We do not want to undermine the European Parliament’s right and duty of political control. The accident was huge and tragic and must not happen again. But neither should other practices which day by day, drop by drop, pollute our seas, often in the face of inaction on the part of people who today are screaming blue murder."@en1
