Mr Mastorakis’ report deserves our wholehearted support.
The European Maritime Safety Agency must have the competences and the means to prevent and combat pollution caused by ships and other vessels.
We must ensure that the Agency is located in Portugal and – in the interests of decentralisation and of combating the inherent imbalance in Portugal’s Lisbon-centric development – we must make it possible for the Agency, or one of its branches, to be located in Sagres, on the Algarve, in Southern Europe.
