Se protéger contre "les navires poubelles", c'est aussi se préoccuper de la protection du milieu marin ainsi que des conditions de vie et de travail à bord des navires.
In protecting ourselves against these coffin ships, we are also showing our concern for the protection of the marine environment as well as shipboard living and working conditions.
Le but de tout ceci - nos collègues nous l' ont rappelé - est de rationaliser le travail d'adaptation de la législation communautaire en vigueur aux dispositions et conventions internationales sur la sécurité maritime et la protection du milieu marin ainsi qu'au progrès technique.
The purpose of this - as Members have already pointed out - is to streamline the operation of bringing the Community legislation in force into line with the international provisions and conventions on maritime safety and the protection of the marine environment, and with technical progress.
