"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, as we know, terrorist action over recent years has targeted public transport – trains, buses, aeroplanes, ships and the areas in which they operate. Memories of terrorist attacks, such as the attack in Madrid, remain fresh in our memory. We urgently need to take more – and more effective – measures. The proposal for a directive aims to serve that purpose. Most of the measures introduced by the directive are satisfactory.
We need to take measures at Community level, so that there are commonly accepted security rules and, at the same time, equal conditions of competition between Community ports. The successful example of the Olympic Games in Athens, where innovative security measures were applied, should be taken into account by the Member States, who need to acquaint themselves with these measures.
Coming from a country with hundreds of islands and ports in a sensitive area on the geographical edge of Europe, I think that the European Union should give priority to programmes to meet major requirements and complete infrastructures on these islands, which are often a point of illegal entry for people and goods."@en1
