lpv:translated text	"Marine safety must be reinforced in Europe. It must even become a priority. Otherwise, there is the risk of seeing, in the near future, all our seas and oceans polluted, as the Atlantic coast is by the successive losses of the and oil tankers. That is why the Member States must, as soon as possible, withdraw from service the single-hulled tankers that are often the cause of disasters, but also make port inspections more stringent and impose stricter rules upon the companies that issue certificates of seaworthiness. In short, they must apply the Erika package of December 1999 indefinitely. That is why, too, I have voted in favour of the excellent report by my colleague, Mr Sterckx. It includes a whole series of innovative measures to prevent oil slicks and effectively combat them: a European coastguard service, a victim compensation fund and ports of refuge made available for welcoming ships ‘in distress’. I have also voted in favour of setting up a temporary parliamentary commission to cast as much light as possible upon the disaster, to discover who was responsible and to take action for the future. In this way, it will, once and for all, be the polluter who genuinely pays, as it is in the United States with its Oil Pollution Act."@en1
