Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) In the interests of updating the MARPOL Convention, in particular Annex IV, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) is urged to bring the convention up to date as it has become obsolete, given the increase in maritime traffic, particularly in the area of cruise traffic. Annex IV to MARPOL allows the discharge of sewage into the sea without any treatment at a distance of more than 12 nautical miles from the coast.
