in 1999 and the
in 2002 are major environmental disasters with tragic repercussions for marine fauna and flora. Reflecting a concern for the environment and a willingness to learn from past mistakes, this regulation seeks to reduce the risks of accidental oil pollution in European waters through the accelerated phasing-in of double-hull requirements. This proposal does not alter the substance of the regulation, but it includes certain updates.
