"The safety of sea transport, prompt response to accidents and the efficiency of accident investigations are of vital importance to the countries of the Baltic Region. The Baltic Sea is secluded and shallow; its water changes only once every 30 years, which makes it very vulnerable. With the constant increase in sea transport in the Baltic Sea, thanks to Lithuania’s experience we are aware of accidents at sea being followed by disagreements and mess, which reveals a real lack of relevant rules.
I therefore commend the rapporteur on the very important work carried out. We should not agree with the Council’s proposal that safety investigations be carried out only in the event of a major incident. It is not only major incidents that have a disastrous impact on countries’ economies and environment as well as their welfare. The attempt to minimise the number of bureaucratic mechanisms should not hinder the quality of investigations. Moreover, it is very important that the same methods of investigating incidents are employed in all the Member States."@en1
