"With the vote on discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) for 2009, Parliament has been able to confirm the good governance of that Agency and the use of its appropriations for their intended purpose. I welcome this vote, as it reaffirms Parliament’s commitment to the Agency, which plays a crucial role in monitoring and supervising Europe’s seas. Given that the pressure on our maritime area is growing, we have a duty to be extremely vigilant regarding its use. Hence I am particularly delighted that the proposals contained in my 2008 report on port State control have become key principles underpinning EMSA’s work. They relate, for example, to ship inspections and coordination of the various national control systems by the Agency. The sea is an area that belongs to all Europeans, and it is part of our heritage. By promoting the exchange of good practice, relentlessly combating pollution and illegal activities at sea, and preventing accidents, we will be able to benefit from the sea’s growth potential for a long time yet."@en1
