"Madam President, these coast ports which I represent are a major engine for jobs and growth: one million square feet of new distribution space last year at Felixstowe, Britain’s biggest container port; a new port at London Gateway; GBP 100 million investment in the port of Tilbury, adding to modern crane facilities provided with the help of the EU motorways of the sea; the port of Ipswich playing a major economic role for the Haven gateway, and Great Yarmouth for the economy in Norfolk. That is why I reiterate to my friend Knut Fleckenstein a call to use the negotiation to promote competition between European ports. To ensure a genuine level playing field for state aids, I am worried about the proposed exemptions. I think we have to heed the warnings of the European Towage Association, which predicts environmental catastrophe. I do not ask him for different arrangements for the UK; instead, while the British Government opposes the social and employment aspects in Articles 10(2) and 10(a), I ask him to defend them and to support Amendments 146 and 147, which I co—signed, on enhanced safety and collective bargaining rights. The Port Service Regulation has been refused twice, and if jobs, employment rights, investment and safety are not guaranteed, it should be rejected again."@en1
