"Madam President, a directive on the security of EU ports is no luxury.
The attacks in New York, Washington and Madrid have shown that no mode of transport is yet safe from terrorism, and it is therefore logical that seaport security should be stepped up. Commissioner Barrot pointed out a moment ago that by doing so, we are simply discharging a number of international obligations. In fact, this is not just about the threat of terrorism, but also about the fight against illegal immigration, organised crime and the trade in drugs and fake goods. We hope in any event that the initiative will not remain stuck in good intentions, but that each of these security concerns will be acted upon properly.
Finally, I should like to express my approval about the amendments tabled by the Committee on Transport and Tourism. It is indeed necessary that the funding of the proposed measures should not result in distortion of competition and that clear guidelines are prescribed for covering the costs incurred by the governments on the one hand and operators on the other."@en1
