You called for the commitments given in the ‘Erika’ legislation to be implemented, Mrs de Palacio, and you called for an approach that went beyond those commitments, but the European Council turned its back on the victims of the disaster who at that very moment were scooping up oil with their own hands.
Vous vouliez, Mme la Commissaire, que soient appliqués les engagements de la législation Erika et qu’on aille même au-delà de ces engagements. Le Conseil européen a tourné le dos aux personnes touchées, qui ramassaient au même moment le pétrole de leurs mains.
