"The European Parliament took up the issue of double-hull vessels following several accidents involving cruise ships in recent months. My French colleague, Dominique Riquet, of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) produced the report on the recasting of the regulation on the accelerated phasing-in of double-hull requirements, the primary aim of which was to incorporate new international rules established by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) into a regulation dating from 2002. Furthermore, as a member of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, I could only support this report, which is also a tool to fight pollution. The regulation on double-hull vessels prevents the contents of cargo tanks from being discharged into the sea and causing major oil pollution following a collision or grounding. It is therefore essential that single-hull ships speed up their compliance."@en1
