European Parliament
Nuno Melo  (PPE ),
in writing.
(PT)
I voted for the report setting out the double-hull or equivalent design requirements for single-hull oil tankers. This position is justified by major accidents involving oil tankers and the subsequent pollution of coasts and resulting damage to fauna, flora and other marine resources. Stricter and more effective measures need to be taken at international and EU level in order to bring about a marked improvement in maritime safety.
