lpv:translated text	"Mr President, everything was said here during the months following the sinking of the Erika, on waste boats, the inadequacy of checks and the complacency of the flag states. We voted on two blocks of measures. Many of them are good. However, nothing has changed, and while Parliament is talking, every day vessels set out into the Ouessant lane ready to pour out their oil onto the coasts of the Vendée or Galicia if by chance there is a storm. As a lawyer, before joining Parliament, I spent hundreds of hours with the victims of the Erika, professionals and local groups. Tomorrow, will I have to go back and say to them: 'we are moved, very moved, but we cannot be effective in less than three years because of codecision'? Commissioner, you were just saying: 'I want it ', but the system replies: . So while the Americans protected themselves in a few months, with immediate measures, we take years to adopt measures with a delayed effect, the content of which will ultimately be inadequate. Inadequate for two reasons. First of all, because the Treaties do not allow the countries that are threatened, such as France and Spain or Portugal, to protect themselves unilaterally and rapidly when circumstances require it, and equally because those countries have to admit defeat with countries for whom maritime safety is not a priority. Also, because we will not have done anything until we have forced the oil companies to take prime responsibility for transporting their goods, so that security is ensured by rich companies that are well-known and laying their reputation on the line, and not by ship owners with no identity or nationality."@en1
