"The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) was created by Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council, with a view to responding to the problem created by the wreck of the oil tanker
on 12 December 1999, releasing 15 000 tonnes of fuel oil and polluting 450 km of the coast of Brittany. The EMSA’s mission is to provide assistance and technical support relating to maritime protection in pollution situations caused by ships, so it has a crucial role in defending the marine environment.
Both the protection of the oceans and the creation of mechanisms for controlling or combating pollution should be seen in global terms, so as to save resources and streamline procedures. In view of the experience of the EMSA, there is a need to expand its competences and provide it with funds so it can step up the fight against pollution and piracy, as well as supporting and monitoring fishing and transportation craft.
I welcome the adoption of this report, which will expand the competences of the EMSA, so contributing to our ability to enjoy a marine environment that is healthier, better protected and better able to ensure the survival of future generations."@en1
