lpv:translated text	". Our position in the final vote on the Piecyk report was to abstain. We do, of course, realise that the aim of withdrawing single hull tankers is to protect the environment by preventing other tragic accidents at sea. We are without doubt in favour of this aim, as we have demonstrated by voting in favour of all the previous reports on the subject. These final arrangements, however, appear to be the result of political reaction in the heat of the moment to the shipwreck of the . This also explains the eagerness for the EU to proceed this time independently of the IMO, while it is a known fact that for shipping, which goes beyond European borders, international solutions are preferable. Especially as the previous withdrawal timetable has not yet started to apply. We do not believe, therefore, that serious account has been taken of the consequences that these arrangements will have on the competitiveness of the economy. More specifically, Greek shipping is being hard hit, harming the workers in the shipping industry. In abstaining, we are expressing our acute scepticism about the stand of the Council of Ministers and, more importantly, the Greek Presidency, which should deal with the issue with greater sangfroid, especially as we Greeks have more experience of these issues and our economy is affected more by these arrangements."@en1
