Legislative proposal on ship-source pollution and the introduction of penalties, amending Directive 2005/35/EC. Amendments revise recitals incorporating Marpol 73/78 and IMO standards into Union law, extend the scope to discharges during ships' voyages between ports of call, strengthen consistent administrative penalties and their deterrent effect taking account of recidivism, require inspections of suspected illegal discharges, and enhance the satellite-based CleanSeaNet service to cover additional polluting substances.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
