". The sinking of the oil tanker off the coast of Galicia on 19 November 2002 caused a huge ecological and economic disaster, to which, I am very glad to say, Parliament devoted its full attention from the beginning. A Parliamentary delegation, of which I was a member, travelled to Galicia in March of this year and observed the scale of the disaster at first hand. I therefore share the concerns expressed by the Commission and by the Members of this House about maritime safety. I appeal to all parties to make firm commitments in the vital area of maritime safety, since the quality and safety of vessels sailing in European waters, and of European vessels the world over, depends on them, as does protecting the coasts and citizens of Europe from further disasters. Safety is down to us all and demands all our commitment! I am speaking, moreover, as Member for a region where many of the shipping lanes running between the Americas and Europe come together, and which is thus extremely vulnerable to this type of disaster. The island of Porto Santo has already suffered the terrible consequences of such accidents. Let us hope that these measures will mean that my region or any other will experience them NEVER AGAIN."@en1
