lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Commission has proposed to us a legal framework guaranteeing respect for competition rules and for economic freedoms in order to permit freedom of access to the market for port services. The initiative may be thought constructive in principle but, given the maritime disasters experienced by Europe in recent years, you will agree that there is the a need to ensure that the regulations voted for meet the demands of maritime security. That is why it is important for the text adopted to consider each particular port service in its own right. At first reading, I tabled two amendments designed to exclude pilotage and mooring services from the scope of the directive. The House voted in favour of these, and that is something I am delighted about. At second reading, our rapporteur, Mr Jarzembowski, once again proposed that pilotage services be excluded from the scope of the directive, a proposal not taken on board by the Council. In the interests of consistency with our vote at first reading and in order to allow pilots to continue contributing to environmental protection and to safety in Community ports, I therefore request a vote in favour of excluding pilotage services from the scope of the directive. On the issue of excluding mooring services, I think it would be preferable not to liberalise this service, which is also one of the key features of port safety. An opening up to competition would be slightly more acceptable to the relevant services if certain points in the directive, such as self-handling, were to be reworded. Having opted for self-handling, the ship owner must ensure that this is maintained throughout the operation. We must avoid enacting regulations authorising an system. That is why I would encourage you, ladies and gentlemen, to vote in favour of Amendment No 13, seeking to limit self-handling to seagoing personnel."@en1
