".
I have voted in support of this report welcoming the extension of the European Maritime Safety Agency's powers to maritime security and seafarers' qualifications.
Parliament is perfectly correct to emphasise the need to make maritime transport safer, better protect the marine environment and enhance shipping security.
In the wake of the
disaster and the many other catastrophes we have witnessed we can all agree that maritime transport must be made a lot safer and there must be far better coordination of actions in all Member States. A properly resourced European Maritime Safety Agency would enable such coordination with due respect for the need to safeguard the subsidiarity principle in recognition that primary responsibility must lie with coastal Member States.
I also fully support the proposal that the European Maritime Safety Agency should be involved in recognition of certificates of competency for seafarers and hope that the Agency will prioritise this particular area with a view to ensuring greater safety for workers and citizens.
It is however my view that EMSA should not be given responsibilities for combating terrorism: these must continue to be the responsibility of the Member States, and I welcome the clarifications contained in the report in this regard."@en1
