".
I believe that the EU must act clearly on this issue and must provide a responsible framework of rules for the maritime transport of oil and other noxious liquid substances. It is therefore important to combat illegal discharges and to move towards uniform implementation and interpretation within the EU of the international rules in force.
The proposal for a directive incorporates into Community law a range of international rules governing discharges, based on global agreements (MARPOL) and specifies which contraventions of the discharge rules are criminal offences, providing guidance concerning the nature of penalties to be imposed. In light of the fact that MARPOL rules are relevant, clear and reasonable, they should be incorporated into Community law, given the increasingly international nature of maritime transport.
A further relevant point is undoubtedly the establishment of measures to protect crews, and the possibility of prosecuting others involved in the chain. It is essential that the imposition of sanctions should encompass all those responsible for polluting the marine environment."@en1
