lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, safety remains an important topic in both the marine and maritime spheres. To this day, the disaster involving the has continued to demonstrate this. An agreement has recently been reached within the IMO about the extent of an additional fund for damage caused by oil pollution. Comments have been made in that respect about possible contributors to that fund. I take the view that the proposals expressed in the reports by Mr Pex and Mr Di Lello Finuoli are a valuable addition to this regulation. Responsibilities are clearly indicated and unambiguous sanctions are imposed in the event of non-compliance. I am pleased that criminal sanctions form part of this. I am less happy about the request to set up a European coastguard, because in my view, this concerns an extra layer of existing activities rather than a useful addition to tasks that individual coastguards are already carrying out. This also applies to the request in the Poignant report that ships under European flags should be given a clear, physical, EU designation. As long as we do not have a joint European shipping register, this does not strike me as useful. Moreover, it will lead to a delay in the discussion of this proposal with the Council. Leaving aside a few reservations, then, I take, on the whole, a very positive view of these proposals."@en1
