Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I for my part am opposed to bureaucracy, and the same is probably true of every Member of this House. A burgeoning number of documents that deal with problems relating to port security could well result in a proliferation of bureaucratic structures, and EU regulation of this issue will mean that two overlapping sets of legislation and legal systems will be in force.
Subsidiarity is one of the Community’s founding principles. We must not deprive the Member States of yet more powers by declaring that the directive will also apply to areas outside ports. We must not impose constraints on the Member States’ judicial systems by dictating what is to be considered an offence and what is to be considered unlawful. I am all for enhancing port security, but wherever possible it should be the Member States and the ports themselves that decide how this goal is to be achieved, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity. The effect of this directive must not be that ports have to undergo never-ending inspections, carried out by countless different bodies. As I said at the beginning of my speech, we must avoid over-bureaucratisation of the regulations, directives and laws that apply in the EU concerning this matter."@en1
