European Parliament
Christine De Veyrac  (PPE ),
in writing.
(FR)
The environmental disasters of the
Erika
in 1999 and the
Prestige
in 2000 highlighted the need to improve the protection of oil tankers against accidents which have, in the past, damaged our marine environment and coastal zones. That is why I voted in favour of this text, which seeks to do just that. Indeed, several years ago, the European Parliament adopted effective decisions to increase the safety of oil tankers and to reduce the risks of pollution.
