"I voted in favour of discharge in respect of the implementation of the budget of the European Maritime Safety Agency for the financial year 2010 since its expenditure was approved by the European Court of Auditors. The agency, which was set up in the wake of the
disaster and has the means to prevent any cause of pollution and tackle its disastrous effects for the environment and human health, is a cornerstone of our maritime protection. As we renegotiate the agency’s mandate, I hope we will take care to ensure that its future activities are both useful and cost-effective and that it therefore remains a high value added European resource. We need to be realistic in particular, and only ask the agency to do what it is able to do, particularly at a time of budgetary cuts. Personally, I feel these new roles should tie in with the agency’s key mission, which is to preserve both the security and safety and the environment of the EU’s maritime areas. I also support the idea of a role of preventing and combating pollution caused by offshore platforms, and I must stress that any extension of its roles must be matched by an extension of its financial and physical resources."@en1
