lpv:translated text	". − ‘The EU has 320 000 km of sea coast; a third of our citizens – and the trend is rising – live on the coast. Our economic activities at sea and on the coast produce 40% of EU GDP and all forecasts suggest that there is still a great deal of potential for growth. Some 40% of trade in goods within Europe and 95% of exports outside Europe are carried out by sea.’ The rapporteur has summed up the sea’s importance to Europe in just one phrase. As a Portuguese, I know it well. It is also as a Portuguese – a people that has always returned to the sea and found prosperity and wealth there – I consider it crucial for Europe to have a maritime policy that enables it to make use of all the potential that the sea has as an economic and energy resource, as a creator of employment and wealth, and as an engine for competitiveness and innovation. I am particularly pleased to pick out the concern about environmental disasters on the sea – I recall the case of the Prestige, which took place very close to the northern coast of Portugal – and the need for stronger rules to prevent them on the European seas."@en1
