Som jeg nævnte for ham på IMO's hovedkontor i London, er den tekst, der er blevet forelagt Parlamentet, i fuld overensstemmelse med international lovgivning, det vil sige MARPOL-konventionen om forebyggelse af forurening og FN's havretskonvention.
As I pointed out to him at the IMO headquarters in London, the text that Parliament has before it is perfectly consistent with international law, that is the Marpol Convention on the prevention of pollution and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
