lpv:translated text	"The accelerated phasing-in of double-hull or equivalent design requirements for single-hull oil tankers is a very important issue. Oil slicks resulting from oil tanker accidents are major environmental disasters with tragic repercussions for marine fauna and flora. In an attempt to protect the environment and learn from past mistakes, steps leading to the accelerated phasing-in of double-hull oil tankers will reduce the risk of accidental oil pollution in European waters. In single-hull vessels, the oil in the cargo tanks is separated from the seawater only by the bottom and side plating. If the hull is damaged following a collision or grounding, there is a risk that the cargo tanks will discharge their contents into the sea and cause major pollution. An effective means of avoiding this risk is to surround the cargo tanks with a second inner plate at a sufficient distance from the outer shell. This ‘double hull’ design protects the cargo tanks from damage and thus reduces the pollution risk. I therefore consider the introduction of the aforementioned design requirements for double-hull or equivalent for single-hull oil tankers in the near future to be justified."@en1
