".
I voted for this report because it is important to make the current system for compensating victims more efficient. Additional funds should allow for effective, quick and fair compensation for victims of future oil spills. This is why the Member States must sign or ratify the protocol on this fund as quickly as possible.
I would like to express some reservations however. First of all, it is unacceptable that the human, economic and environmental damage resulting from the sinking of the
is not taken into account in the raising of compensation. Furthermore, it is a shame to be deprived of recourse to the COPE Fund, a European additional compensation fund with a ceiling of EUR one billion, since it could have speeded up the compensation of victims who were not in a position to obtain complete compensation within the framework of the international system. This dossier, which has been left aside, seems to be mistaken for the additional fund. Finally, the Member States must transpose the measures adopted at European and international level following the
and
accidents as soon as possible.
In conclusion, I would point out the equally important need to act in advance by means of a genuine preventive policy. Polluters must be severely punished and each party involved in the transport of goods must be made responsible."@en1
