lpv:translated text	"By a majority of 229 votes to 209, we have rejected the Jarzembowski report. Had we approved it, we should have run the risk of seeing disasters like those involving the the or the which have hitherto occurred exclusively in offshore waters, starting to happen within the confines of our European ports. I welcome the rejection of this directive. In practice, it would have achieved nothing more or less than a proliferation of ports of convenience and widespread social dumping, to the detriment of safety, the workforce and the environment. It would have authorised shippers to use inexperienced, untrained and temporary labour to handle their own cargo. It would have undermined the terms of employment of port employees, especially of dockers. The same applies to employees in other trades, such as pilots, tug masters and inshore pilots, the quality and independence of whose services were jeopardised by the draft directive. The dockers had put us on guard against the dangers of this directive with a wave of Europe-wide strikes. Within a single week, more than 20 000 signatures were collected on a European petition against the liberalisation of port services, reflecting the anxiety of everyone in the sector. It is up to us politicians to continue listening to these professionals and to develop public port services on a European scale, which are the only possible guarantor of safety, legality, continuity and quality, of the preservation of past achievements in the field of social welfare and of respect for the environment. Let us hope that this defeat for the advocates of liberalism will be decisive and not merely a temporary respite."@en1
