"I abstained. This text is the result of lengthy negotiations but the compromise reached still does not address the greatest concern. I believe that standards on EU citizens’ health and the environment must be as uniform as possible across the EU. Furthermore, it is not entirely clear whether the varied burden of the economic decision will create premises for different competitive conditions and distortion of the common market. With this decision, it is as if we are dividing EU citizens and seas into two parts – in one, we are more concerned about health and the environment, in the other, less so. All that remains is to wait for the Commission’s report and assessment on whether this differentiation will reduce the effectiveness of the fight against pollution from maritime transport and cause a large scale change in modes of transport and a distortion of competition in the European Union market. On the other hand, I hope that this decision will encourage greater attention and investment in environmentally friendly innovations. I believe that the North Baltic region has all the prerequisites to become a leader in this field."@en1
