"Madam President, I come from the island of Ireland, and we have many great ports in my own constituency. We have ports like Rosslare, Waterford, Cork and Shannon Foynes, which is one of the most naturally deep-water ports in the world. Our ports have a huge role to play as our economy develops into the future, and also indeed in even tackling climate change, where you should utilise them more to carry cargo and get it off the roads.
I think the Commissioner has some worries about taxation and some ports across Europe. I was pleased to hear him say that the information he has gathered so far is confidential – that is the way it should be. It is very important that this will be broadened, that there will be discussion with the Member States involved and that all ports across Europe may be looked at so that we establish a level playing field and that one does not feel discriminated against the other – that is a very important issue. Gathering all the information across Europe and then making it available would be the best way to progress."@en1
