lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the proposal for a regulation on the accelerated phasing-in of double-hull or equivalent design requirements for single-hull oil tankers. I think that this is a particularly important topic, given the cases involving the in 1999 and the in 2002, and that the oil slicks resulting from oil tanker accidents are major environmental disasters both for marine fauna and flora and for coastal tourism. This regulation seeks to reduce the risks of accidental pollution in European waters through the accelerated phasing-in of double hulls. In single-hull vessels, the oil in the cargo tanks is separated from the seawater only by the bottom and side plating of the tanks. If this metal plate is damaged following a collision or grounding, there is a risk that the cargo tanks will discharge their contents into the sea and cause major pollution. An effective means of avoiding this risk is to surround the cargo tanks with another inner plate at a sufficient distance from the outer plate. This ‘double hull’ design protects the cargo tanks from damage, thereby reducing the pollution risk."@en1
