". In recent decades, various environmental disasters have taken place, including the sinking of the off the coast of Galicia, which has had terrible consequences as regards maritime pollution. There is a clear need for international cooperation, because no State is able to combat the consequences of a major maritime pollution accident on its own, and the aim of this cooperation must be to prevent and effectively combat such pollution. I must, therefore, support the Community’s conclusion of this Protocol on cooperation concerning combating pollution in the Mediterranean Sea, one of the protocols appended to the Barcelona Convention (a regionally-based initiative, to which 14 Mediterranean countries have signed up). Given its lengthy coastline, Portugal would always have to support any initiative that promotes international cooperation with the aim of preventing and combating maritime pollution. There is no problem as regards the initiative’s compatibility with Community legislation, because this is even more stringent than the Protocol, since the Community has stepped up and strengthened its action in the field of preventing and combating maritime pollution. One example of this is the set of initiatives that we adopted here during the last part-session."@en1
