"Mr President, I really wanted to talk about the budget in relation to the fact that the reprogramming of funds to meet the needs resulting from the
accident had my support and I am grateful, if you will allow me, for the unanimity achieved in this Parliament.
I must point out that reprogramming is not the right route, and that the Council has still not approved the compensation fund in the
packages, it has still not been approved in the Council of Ministers, the European Council, and there is a genuine division between the European institutions which is jeopardising the fight against the international maritime traffic in dangerous goods in our waters.
I must also point out that the European Council has only given EUR 5 million for the
a sum which I described yesterday as miserable and this must be said, bearing in mind that the United States have applied specific legislation through the Oil Pollution Act
and are going to claim, and will achieve, EUR 4 000 million from Exxon Mobil
for the
accident.
I believe these things should be pointed out so that the European Union may really become a political union which shows solidarity, especially in the case of an accident such as the one that has taken place in Galicia, which is a truly European problem. It is being suffered by Galicia because that is where the majority of traffic passes, but it is genuinely a European problem."@en1
