lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, our group thanks the rapporteur for this report and supports it. It is important to pay attention to training. More and more frequently vessels flying the flag of a Member State are being manned by third country nationals. This proposal makes it easier to recruit crew members from third countries, and for that reason we have to be very careful here as it could hamper the employment of trained personnel from the European Union. We must now, therefore, ensure that no untrained people are taken on to do these jobs and that crews have been adequately trained. That is why I support Amendment No 1, as well as Amendment No 4: issued certificates in particular must be made fraud-proof. Just imagine a ship which has a crew with fake papers and who perhaps cannot even read those fake papers! Then there is Amendment No 6 to consider: certificates do have to be made out in several languages because this again makes them easier to check and facilitates the work of the authorities. Regarding Amendment No 7, we should intervene when countries do not do enough to prevent the falsification of these documents and certificates. It is a violation of this agreement as far as the state in question is concerned. It has indeed been noticed that there are countries which do not do enough or do nothing at all about these fake certificates. That is why this is very important. Just imagine the Gulf of Finland with 20 metres of pack ice and an untrained crew with no language skills and no help from a Russian icebreaker on a single-hull ship in winter in shorts. Can this spell anything but disaster? I hope the Commission will take this matter up with the utmost seriousness."@en1
