"The terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 have put the issue of transport security at the top of the political agenda. As vital links in the transport chain connecting the flow of goods and passengers by sea and by land, ports must obviously be the subject of security measures, in line with proposals by the Commission. I can but endorse such an initiative because, as the elected European representative of the large north-west region, more than 15 large maritime trade ports vital to the local and national economy are affected.
France is susceptible to this dossier as it has three particularly well-exposed coastlines. The English Channel in the north (the ports of Le Havre, Dunkirk, Calais, Boulogne and Rouen), the Atlantic coast (the ports of Bordeaux, Nantes, Saint-Nazaire and La Rochelle which form entry ports for trade with Eastern, Southern and Northern Europe), and finally, the Mediterranean coast (the Marseille-Fos port).
These security measures must obviously not be restricted to port terminals alone, but must also extend to the whole of the port and related activities."@en1
