Many Portuguese citizens have been cooperating in this humanitarian effort and we are also extremely concerned about the fate of the oil slick from the
which could also reach the northern coasts of Portugal.
This is an enormous disaster and it is to be welcomed that Europe has, for once, learnt its lesson. It seems that the

must be enough for this type of thing never to happen again! I therefore wish to express my agreement with the proposal by Mr Nogueira Román, suggesting that Parliament’s President should visit Galicia and, if the Portuguese coasts are affected, he should visit that area too.

It is extremely important that Parliament sends this forceful signal and I therefore fully support the words of Mr Nogueira Román."@en1
