lpv:translated text	"Madam President, without competing ports, the EU will not be able to meet the challenge of globalised trade – 90% of our imports are imported by sea – neither will it be able to decongest its major roads in favour of sea routes. However, the ports will finally have to emerge from the Stone Age. They must stop being hostage to trade unions and must operate transparently, cut red tape and open up to more commercial horizons. The Greek Government has set in motion a very ambitious programme to transfer parts of port operations to independent, private operators, who will bring a new dynamism not only to the Greek economy, but also to the wider area of South-East Europe. I would therefore like to urge my fellow Members to support this option and reject the amendments of many left-wing Members aimed at undermining and diminishing the importance of the Greek programme for sea ports."@en1
