"Mr President, Commissioner, Mr Sterckx’s report takes an important stand on the maritime environment. With effective action we will protect waters in which people bathe, safeguard the supply of clean fish to eat, and improve maritime ecology, especially in enclosed sea areas. Oil from ships is very dangerous in many ways and for that reason pollution offences must be dealt with firmly and by making those who contribute to them accountable.
The committee has reached an excellent conclusion, which Mr Sterckx’s amendments make more specific. There is one point I nevertheless cannot support as it stands: the proposal for a common coastguard goes just a bit too far. As the coastguard also has many other responsibilities, this should be considered in the wider context.
Mr Poignant has done some good work with regard to his own report. There is just one detail in it, however, that should be addressed. I too am in favour of ships displaying the emblem of the European Union. The amendment to display the emblem on national flags is problematic, however, as the rapporteur has also said himself. It would require a debate on flag legislation in the Member States. If this amendment is dropped, it will be possible to bring this whole issue to a swift conclusion."@en1
