". If, following the floods that engulfed Central Europe this summer, the earthquakes in Turkey, Greece and recently in Italy, there were still a need to demonstrate the necessity of an aid fund for victims of disasters, the news of the sinking of the should finally convince us. Although this Solidarity Fund is a necessary guarantee, it is not a sufficient one, however. Providing aid to the victims of such disasters should not prevent detailed consideration of their causes, our production methods and economic orientations. On the contrary, it should encourage us to radically question our economies of profit! These economies produce small profits for shipowners registered in Panama, recruiting Filipinos and flying the flag of Gibraltar! But personal and family tragedies, incalculable losses for the European and international communities caused by each sinking of an illegal tanker, destroying the socio-economic fabric of the coasts for years and damaging ecosystems and marine biodiversity for centuries! What I am calling for is more than a solidarity fund, but the creation of a European bank for environmental protection and restoration, which is permanent and one step ahead of environmental disasters, so that the recent disaster is the last warning shot for these attacks on the environment."@en1
