Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the draft ports directive that we are discussing at the moment is a classic product of the former European Commission. When it submitted the draft in the spring of 2004, the European Commission carried out no research into its impact on the new European Union Member States, with the result that, for example, the Baltic states ports would under this directive be obliged to compete with Russia’s ports in a situation of unfair competition. Therefore, however much the rapporteur tries to find a compromise on this draft directive, it is clear that doing so will be very difficult. Unfortunately, it may be that the organisers of the violent demonstration and various supporters of that demonstration on the left wing of this Parliament will tomorrow celebrate a victory. However, stage what events they will, I would like to say to those who espouse the relaxed social standards of the old Europe that without major reforms it will not be possible to maintain those standards after all."@en1
