I juleferien, da de nederlandske medier satte katastrofen med Erika i søgelyset, så jeg efter på Internet, hvilke forholdsregler der kunne tages, særligt også efter at ministerpræsident Jospin havde sagt, at Europa skulle gøre mere.
During the Christmas break, when the Dutch media received attention for the Erika disaster, I had a look, just out of interest, on the Internet to see what arrangements were, in fact, already in place for the purpose of taking relevant measures, especially after Premier Jospin had said that Europe should do more.
