lpv:translated text	"Mr President, at the Copenhagen European Council in December 2002, all Heads of State or Government supported much more stringent regulations to combat pollution caused by ships. That summit took place only a month after the accident involving the in November 2002. Now, almost four years later, it seems as if the level of ambition has fallen considerably. There is too little money, and it is not completely clear how comprehensive we shall have been able to make the system. That being said, we are pleased that this compromise has been reached, and we support it. We would also particularly congratulate Mr Grandes on his report, and, as a Dane, I have to say how constructive it is that we have had the arrangements extended also to cover the North Sea area. We are pleased that the subject is now pollution in general and not only special pollution. We assume that this proposal and the whole of this draft are of such a kind that improvements might also be made and that the level of ambition might also gradually be increased. We assume that it will be possible for the content to be increased and for proposals – such as the one now tabled – to be incorporated so that it is possible to pursue the very many criminals who are quite indifferent to what happens to our marine environment and who therefore have no compunction about using it as a dustbin, unwilling as they are to pay what it costs to get rid of their pollutants properly. I do not believe that the proposal is good enough to enable us to prevent behaviour like that, but I hope that it is good enough to be improved and that it can therefore operate as a necessary framework. Thank you for your proposal. Naturally, we support it."@en1
