"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, thank you for your answer. It is very important that we ensure, for example, that double hulls are used with shipments of oil, but that is not enough in all situations. When it is a matter of the icy conditions to be found in the north still more is needed, and this has been made very apparent this year because it has been a very cold winter and there has been thick ice in the Baltic Sea and particularly in the Gulf of Finland, which is very vulnerable. It is approximately 30 metres deep on average and conditions are very difficult. I would therefore like to ask you, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, if you agree with the Finnish initiative proposing the amendment of the Regulation on double hulls so that in the future a Member State could insist that vessels coming into dock should be adequately strengthened to withstand the pressure of ice. In other words, what is adequate in such a situation would be determined by the Member State whose port the vessel is entering. Should this not also be extended to neighbouring regions, for example – as we are talking about the Gulf of Finland here – to vessels bound for or coming from Russia?"@en1
