"Mr President, I have just one minute, and I intend to use that minute to say that I do not under any circumstances wish to contribute to Europe’s obtaining so-called ports of convenience. I must therefore vote against the Conciliation Committee’s joint text for a European Parliament and Council directive on market access to port services. I am not opposed to either economic liberalisation or liberalisation of the regulations, but I do not consider the intention of the directive to be present in the proposal now being tabled. The intention has already been erased. I do believe, however, that what remains may lead to social dumping. In the Nordic countries, we have worked for a long time to bring about good rules and working conditions in shipping and to resist social dumping. It should not be profitable to register ships in countries other than their own or to employ people under bad conditions. Competence in the ports and the safety of those who work in them must be guaranteed. By rejecting this proposal, the European Parliament is defending workers and the social and labour law regulations governing port workers."@en1
