Furthermore, it is essential to improve the working conditions of seafarers, guaranteeing jobs, respect for the principle of equal pay for equal work, a reduction in working time and no application of the multi-skilling requirement, and resisting any renewed attempt to liberalise port services at EU level, in particular as regards intra-Community shipping; the ‘sound financial basis’ for the maritime policy should not be built at the expense of the European Fisheries Fund and the common fisheries policy, but should be based on the principle that new priorities will require new financial resources.
En outre, il est essentiel d’améliorer les conditions de travail des marins, de garantir l’emploi, de respecter le principe d’un salaire égal pour un travail égal, de réduire le temps de travail, de ne pas appliquer d’exigence en termes de compétences multiples, de résister à toute nouvelle tentative de libéraliser les services portuaires au niveau européen, en particulier en ce qui concerne le transport maritime intra-communautaire.
