Given the recent environmental disasters caused by vessel spills, the proposal on which we voted just now is of particular importance.
The measures proposed by the report strike me as the most appropriate way of improving the functioning of the European Maritime Safety Agency. They introduce a new, long-term vision afforded by the fact that the budget is defined for a seven-year period (2007-2013), and provide for the contracting of stand-by ships for combating spills.
Of similar importance is the creation of a new imagery centre, proposed by Parliament, to help identify illegal spills and discharges, which will improve the speed and effectiveness of the response.
This proposal is of particular importance to Portugal, a country with a large Exclusive Economic Area, which hundreds of vessels pass through every day and which has previously suffered from accidental spills and environmental disasters."@en1
