lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance supports a more consistent application of the EU’s competition rules. Within maritime transport, the situation is characterised by a few large companies making a packet, precisely because there are price agreements in this area. There is no free competition. This is a peculiar feature of the EU system, and a regrettable one when it comes to maritime transport, which could become a good alternative to air and road transport if prices were fairer. If prices are to be regulated at all, it must be in order to take due account of the environment or of employees. It is not with that kind of price regulation that we are concerned in this case. What we have here are some of the richest people in the EU, including Greek and Danish ship owners. It is they who take the lion’s share because of a lack of competition and excessively high prices. That they are doing this is obvious, and we can also see who is involved. The Verts/ALE Group supports the Commission or, to be more precise, that part of the Commission that is present in this Chamber, against the Transport DG, and we very much hope that the most important amendments will go through. If Amendments 3 and 12 are adopted, the Verts/ALE Group will be able to support the report. Otherwise, we shall, emphatically, not be able to."@en1
