"As Member of Parliament of a country that has a Baltic coastline, I want to promote, in every way I can, the protection of the marine environment in the Baltic Sea area. I regard the amendments on agricultural effluent proposed in Annex III as very positive. In my opinion, the prevention of pollution by ships is also very important, and it is indeed with regard to that point that a few factors should be taken into account, which I would now like to mention.
There are great differences between the parties to the agreement in the way they comply with the agreement on environmental protection. This is partly owing to technical resources. The states of the European Union comply scrupulously with the terms of the agreement, but there are enormous defects in Russia and the Baltic countries, for example, regarding equipment for collecting waste that comes from ships. Monitoring by the authorities is not as efficiently organised as in the EU countries either. A reform of the rules means considerable levels of investment for our industry, so it is important that the new rules make it possible for us to achieve tangible results with regard to the protection of the environment. In the future, we should try to bring pressure on new Member States to adopt the right sort of attitude and procure the correct equipment."@en1
