".
If this draft regulation is adopted, it will lead to the creation of a European Maritime Safety Agency.
Where safety at sea is concerned, it seems appropriate to address the issue at European level. This agency will provide coherence for training action, for scientific and technical support to Member States to implement legislation, for the compilation of data on maritime pollution, for monitoring and for possible proposals to change current legislation. This is a tool which will not interfere with Member States’ political decisions, but which will aid decision making and monitoring.
This agency is also something that almost all operators in sea-related industries want.
Nevertheless, the role of the Commission in appointing the executive director and the members of the management board and in the agency’s management is so important that the European public, which has called for this agency to be created are in danger of being cut out of the picture. This is why we are tabling several amendments, which seek to improve on the initial proposal. It is quite reasonable that members of national parliaments, regional representatives and seamen’s rights and environmental protection associations should have a place on the agency’s management board. It is also reasonable that the agency should produce regular reports on the results of its actions."@en1
