lpv:translated text	". It is greatly to be welcomed that, once again, in a matter that can be addressed most appropriately at the common European level, it has been possible to draft a compromise which expresses the broad consensus of all political groups. I fully agree with this basic text, of which we were the main proponents and which follows on from the useful content of the debates in plenary, now and as long ago as 21 November, and from that of the previous resolution in this field. I wish to reaffirm our two main approaches: the Commission and the Council must act immediately on what has been learned from this appalling disaster, in terms of rigorous new measures for the future, anticipating the full applicability of others that have already been adopted and a thorough examination of the entire legal and technical framework. The Commission must also, however, undertake and provide us with a detailed and rigorous study of the entire crisis, including the way in which it was managed in practical terms. We would all gain from learning, point by point, from this terrible lesson. This lesson must, therefore, be technically rigorous, scientifically precise and politically unbiased and dispassionate. Bringing any partisan national pettifogging to bear on this crucial evaluation, as those on this House’s left have attempted to do, destroying the spontaneous consensus of 21 November and seeking to mislead the European Parliament because of a political spat in the Spanish parliament, can only harm the seriousness and objectivity of the debate – by all sides, I must emphasise – and, consequently, once again, endanger our common future, as a result of overlooking the main aspect: our coasts, the coastal communities, the greatest interest of the European citizens, a greater ability to prevent and to respond in the right way in future. What is important here is the sea – not Mr Aznar!"@en1
