lpv:translated text	"Mr Medina Ortega I naturally share your concerns and I can assure you that a coastal country like my own, the country currently holding the presidency, is naturally very concerned about this issue, all the more so as it does not have any oil tankers of its own. However, we have to work within the existing legislative framework. That legislative framework is the 1995 directive, which has a set of regulations with a degree of flexibility which should perhaps be implemented more rigorously. In this area we have to work with the world as it is, and that means reacting in accordance with the facts of the situation. In view of the seriousness of such situations, we can congratulate ourselves on the fact that the authorities have at least reacted and undertaken to examine the legislative provisions already existing in this field. The Commission’s intentions in this area are positive, as it intends to reinforce the application of the 1995 directive. The Council is minded to give priority to this area, within the Transport Council, and we intend to follow this up as quickly as possible. We also hope that the European Parliament will be able to examine this issue with equal promptness when it comes before this House under the codecision procedure."@en1
