lpv:translated text	". I applaud the Commission on this initiative to adopt measures to reduce the emission of atmospheric pollutants by ships. Sea transport is responsible for a significant part of the pollution in coastal regions and also contributes to global warming. Contrary to what many people believe, ships can be shown to be one of the most polluting means of transport, a fact that has been compounded by the increasingly strict legislation on fuels for road vehicle engines. Hence the importance of these measures for ship engines also. I consider, however, that the measures proposed by the Commission fall short of the objectives that this initiative is intended to achieve. Without running the risk of falling into a utopian programme, I believe we could go a little further, along the lines of what the rapporteur proposes, towards drawing up a bolder plan. As is also pointed out in the report, the Commission proposal also does not provide the necessary link with the European Union’s fifth and sixth environmental action plans. It makes good sense, therefore, to improve the text by taking a line that is consistent with what already exists on this subject in Community legislation. I voted for the report."@en1
