lpv:translated text	". I have voted for Mr Sterckx’s report, which provides a detailed overview of the information currently available on the accident and whose proposals have proven to be appropriate. Member States must indeed transpose the Erika legislation into their national legal systems as quickly as possible and ensure that it is complied with. If these rules had entered into force sooner, the sinking of the could have been avoided. By the same token, international legislation in force must be strictly observed and monitored. On the basis of the ‘polluter pays’ principle, I support the rapporteur’s idea of criminal liability applying to all actors involved, including the political decision-makers, in maritime disasters. It is of the utmost importance that all Member States ratify the protocol on additional International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds (IOPC) totalling EUR one billion for the compensation of victims from 2004 onwards. I am, however, unhappy that the compensation fund for victims of oil spills in European waters (COPE) is blocked in Council, when it would have enabled the victims of the and perhaps of other disasters to be compensated quickly. A high level of compensation must be assured for the victims of maritime disasters, this must be provided by means of the IOPC fund, with the COPE fund being able to provide a more flexible method of European participation."@en1
