lpv:translated text	"It is not possible to ignore, today, the fortuitous coincidence of the second reading of this proposed directive against maritime pollution with the topical news of the tragic wreck of the . Admittedly, this text does not discuss accidental pollution, but we know full well that the implications of illegal degassing at sea are no less serious, even if it is a more insidious phenomenon. In the last week of February, 39 instances of illegal degassing were identified in the vicinity of the wreck of the alone. Such practices are intolerable, but they are difficult to monitor, particularly at night or in foggy weather. The proposed directive and the amendment proposing to establish a standard charging scheme for vessels in ports, in all European ports, in order to finance the processing of shipboard waste, tackle the problem on two fronts: they force the ports to set up the facilities and the organisation to handle the shipboard operational waste, either under direct state control or by subcontracting to specialised competent operators, and, more importantly, they deter vessels from evading their obligation to dispose of waste since they will have to pay the price in any case. It is, however, essential to ensure that, as far as possible, this universal charge is shared across the board and is supported by national or European financial arrangements to enable smaller ports to gain access to waste processing services without their economic viability and thus their continuity suffering unduly. Subject to this condition, then, what this directive proposes is Europe’s initial model response to the legitimate feeling aroused due to the pollution caused by the wreck of the . To some extent, it marks the official acknowledgement and establishment of a European maritime area subject to shared regulations."@en1
