- (FR) The Council must already have debated at length on the subject of this directive on port facilities for disposing of vessels' operational waste, but its final text respected the principles of stepping up the protection of the marine environment while taking account of the real situation in each of the Member States, without disrupting national practices, and this is not true of the text of the report which has just been presented to us.
Rådet skulle allerede for længe siden have forhandlet emnet for dette direktiv om modtagefaciliteter i havnene for fartøjernes driftsaffald, men den tekst, man nåede frem til, overholdt principperne for at styrke beskyttelsen af havmiljøet samtidig med, at den tog hensyn til realiteterne i den enkelte medlemsstat uden at skabe en omvæltning i den nationale praksis, hvilket ikke er tilfældet med den betænkningstekst, vi netop har fået forelagt.
