"The phasing-in of double-hull or equivalent design requirements for single-hull oil tankers is very important because of
the notorious cases of the
in 1999 and the
in 2002, which caused major environmental disasters. The aim of this regulation is therefore to reduce the risk of accidental oil pollution in European waters. If the hull plating is damaged after the ship has crashed or run aground, it is considered less likely that the cargo tanks will discharge their contents. This is a matter of obvious importance, and the appropriate and necessary steps are now being taken. We voted for the report for this reason.
This report seeks to limit the duration of the Commission’s power to adopt delegated acts to five years, and to lay down the conditions for extending this power. It also calls for a report to be drafted so that Parliament and the Council are provided with regular information to enable them to assess future proposals. The period in which Parliament and the Council can lodge objections to delegated acts will be extended to two months. This will give a total timeframe of four months, which is a more realistic period in which to raise an objection."@en1
