lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I shall be voting in favour of all the technical measures aimed at enhancing maritime safety even though, at the same time, I deplore their inadequacy. But the real problem is the political will to adopt and implement measures binding upon all those endangering the community and the environment in order to make a profit. These are not only the shipowners but also, more especially, the contractors, who are large multinationals, as the losses of the and the clearly illustrated. These binding measures should involve not only the detention of dangerous ships but also the seizure of such vessels and their contents. What is more, these major companies should be made financially liable to the extent of their assets for any damage that they cause. The fuel dumps of Total and Shell, the charterers of the and the respectively, should have been immediately confiscated until all the damage that had been inflicted due to their irresponsibility had been fully compensated. Justice can be merciless towards the poor who are unable to pay a tax or a fine, and will even go so far as to seize their meagre belongings. Laxness towards large companies is indeed a sign that they are more powerful than elected institutions."@en1
