lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I should like to start by thanking and congratulating the rapporteur on his work and his efforts to achieve this resultant agreement between the institutions. Τhis result gives us all satisfaction because it expresses the will of the European Union to give visibility to the European Maritime Safety Agency for combating pollution, to give it suitable means and adequate funding. It already has important responsibilities, as the Commissioner and the rapporteur have mentioned, in supporting the efforts of the Member States to combat pollution and in providing the Member States with suitable information in connection with the prevention and combating of pollution and the evaluation of their policies. I believe that, within this framework, in addition to this support, the Agency can also play a coordinating role, which is something that our past experience has shown we need. The sum of EUR 154 million is important, not only because it is an adequate sum, but also because it also offers security over seven years. As far as operational support is concerned, the Agency has – as already mentioned – already chosen the way in which it will act to prevent and combat pollution. It is very important that we emphasise that, beyond these areas relating to the Baltic, the western approaches to the English Channel and the shores of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, which are priority areas, the Agency can, if necessary, also act in other areas. It is also important that the Agency has the facility to deal with all substances. I should like to ask the Commissioner if we could programme an extension to its duties or if we could give a broader interpretation, so that the Agency can act in cases where pollution is not caused by ships, such as pollution from the major oil slick in Lebanon, which is currently plaguing the Mediterranean and approaching the Member States."@en1
