lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I bring greetings from the Finnish dockworkers, who know how to load and unload ships professionally and competently. They send their greetings and say that the proposal now before us should be rejected. If it were to go ahead, stevedoring would become ‘flag of convenience work’. It would be done by people who sail on ‘flag of convenience’ vessels and who lack the special professional skills that are needed in the difficult snowy and icy conditions that exist in the north to guarantee the occupational safety of other dockworkers. We have had bitter experiences of flag of convenience vessels flouting terms and conditions of employment and health and safety and environmental protection standards. Under the guise of competition, ship owners are now trying to extend the exploitation of seamen from the seagoing context to the ports. That cannot be accepted, given that it is being done on the pretence that it increases competition. Both port employers’ and workers’ organisations unanimously agree that competition will not increase with this directive. It is only economic and social dumping that will increase."@en1
