"I welcome and supported the draft Council decision concerning the accession of the European Union to the 2002 Protocol to the 1974 Athens Convention relating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea, with the exception of Articles 10 and 11. It should be noted that, in order to properly guarantee the safety of passenger ships and passenger rights, it is very important for appropriate limits of liability to be set for carriers, particularly in cases of fault or neglect. I believe that it is only possible to achieve these objectives by establishing a uniform level and type of liability throughout the EU in the areas of international and national transport. We should welcome the fact that we have finally managed to reach an agreement and adopt a regulation and to give the EU exclusive competence to accede to the Athens Protocol as far as the matters covered by the regulation are concerned. I also believe that it is appropriate to give individual Member States the right to decide for themselves on issues that are not covered by the regulation."@en1
