You referred to the fresh measures taken regarding the IMO, but the reason why Parliament has proposed that flags of convenience be banned is that we are all well aware, in the debates that we have had following maritime disasters, that the nature of flags of convenience is that in the event of problems, it is incredibly difficult to locate those responsible.
Mais si le Parlement européen a proposé l'interdiction des pavillons de complaisance, c'est que chacun ici sait bien, vu les débats que nous avons eus à la suite des catastrophes maritimes, que le pavillon de complaisance a cette particularité que, en cas de problème, il y a d'énormes difficultés pour situer les responsables.
