    Les ministres européens des Transports débattront demain à Luxembourg de la seconde série de mesures proposées le 6 décembre dernier par la Commissaire européenne Loyola de Palacio au nom de la Commission afin d’améliorer la sécurité maritime. Il s’agit des “mesures Erika II”, en référence à l’accident du pétrolier du même nom.

Le Parlement européen doit aussi encore se pencher sur la question.

Cette progression est principalement le fait de la division maritime.
