"Mr President, on 12 August there was a collision in the Strait of Gibraltar between the
cargo vessel and the
oil tanker. This is the ninth accident in one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes, used by over 100 000 vessels per year.
The accident points to the pressing need to create a supervision and monitoring port authority between the Kingdom of Spain, the United Kingdom and Gibraltar. The fact that this kind of shipping control does not exist puts lives in jeopardy and logically constitutes a threat to the local environment.
To date we still do not know, and I feel the European Commission should demand to know, what the sunken cargo ship is carrying: 27 000 tonnes of scrap metal, possibly hazardous, contaminated scrap.
I feel it is most important that Parliament and the European Commission urge the authorities in Spain State, the United Kingdom and Gibraltar to create this shipping supervision and monitoring body."@en1
