lpv:translated text	". I voted in favour of the Pex report, which is a major step forward in the fight to improve maritime safety. Do I need to remind you that every year more than 6 million tonnes of polluting waste is deliberately discharged into the sea? It is vital that we fight with determination against the hooligans of the sea who use the oceans as a rubbish dump! Polluters should be severely punished and all of the parties involved in the transport of goods should be made aware of their responsibilities. Prevention is better than cure. The fight against these unscrupulous people therefore needs to be more effective and better reflect reality. The number of people caught in the act is actually minimal compared with the real number of deliberate acts of pollution. In addition, there is often a long procedure before judgment is passed on them and heavy penalties are imposed – which is not always the case – to deter them from reoffending. As a first step, I support cooperation between the maritime police forces of the various coastal States. Subsequently, a joint European coastguard service could be set up, provided that it is subject to strict controls on its efficiency."@en1
