lpv:translated text	". The recent wreck of the oil tanker and the chemical tanker, the have revealed the importance of the role played by classification societies in maritime transport. And we have a legitimate reason to question the reliability and the effectiveness of the inspections they carry out. First of all, recognition of classification societies is devolved to Member States without any prior control or harmonisation at European level. What is more, the training of the inspectors of these societies differs from country to country. Furthermore, no guarantee is given as to the independence of classification societies the flag administration and/or the client. The rapporteur’s proposals aimed at harmonisation on a European scale can only be positive. The European Union must set aside the resources to make it possible for a recognised and competent authority to enforce standards on classification societies. Additional financial and human resources will be necessary. Classification societies will have to be monitored and, where necessary, punished by having their authorisation suspended. In the event of an accident, the financial liability of recognised organisations must be acknowledged and harmonised. In addition, the amount of the mentioned compensation must be revised upwards to take better account of the material, economic, but also social and environmental damage inflicted. I will support this report and the Commission’s amendments, but I call on the Members of Parliament to support the amendments tabled by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy, in particular those aimed at harmonising the rules applicable to classification societies and the status of inspectors."@en1
