Directive communautaire sur le contrôle par l'état du port : le Conseil s'est accordé sur un projet de position commune, qui est en-deçà des propositions de la Commission qui a publiquement annoncé qu'elle n'accepterait pas un accord qui rendrait les contrôles renforcés obligatoires à partir d'un coefficient de ciblage trop élevé, comme le souhaiteraient certains Etats membres.
Community Directive on Port State Control: the Council has reached agreement on a draft common position which does not go as far as the proposals put forward by the Commission which has publicly announced that it would not accept an agreement that would make tighter controls compulsory from an excessively high target coefficient as certain Member States would like.
