lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, a strong, continent-wide economy needs a port system rather than individual ports; it needs a system that will integrate the Europe of 25 and facilitate the transition from allowing competition to strengthening overall competitiveness. The directive does not achieve that aim and, at a time of profound European political crisis, that is a bad or, rather, a shocking sign of the gap between the institutions and the actual needs of the interests at stake in a globalised world. All these many interests can no longer be reconciled along old lines. Inappropriate signs like these have to be eliminated. What we need is a vision of a common port system, a common policy, and transparent guidelines for investments and state aid. Such guidelines must not confine themselves to prioritising competition among ports, but must be able to prevent the competitive disadvantages of some of these ports from weakening the whole system. We need protection for skilled labour that will eliminate social dumping and instead encourage joint training. We need to protect the efficiency of public services and to recognise their requirements in the areas of safety, quality and accessibility. Lastly, we need to assess the impact of liberalising the sector, because what we find most worrying at this point in time is the current trend towards concentrating production and logistics in certain ports around the world. These are the new challenges, and the directive does not meet them. What has happened between the first proposal in 2001 and this second one is not a good example of European politics. I repeat, however, that a directive and rules are needed, and achieving them will require a major political commitment that does not shrink from laying down common rules, notwithstanding the autonomy of the ports…"@en1
