"Madam President, since the Deepwater Horizon oil platform sank in the Gulf of Mexico, millions of litres of oil have been escaping into the sea on a daily basis. BP’s risk analysis for the drilling rig estimated the chances of an accident involving a major environmental threat as unlikely or almost impossible. Once again, we now know otherwise.
President Obama has convened a committee of inquiry for mid-July that will look at the issue of the regulation of deepwater drilling and questions of risk management. New sources of oil can only be accessed through deepwater drilling. Only last week, Norway issued licences for almost 100 exploration blocks in the North Sea.
Commissioner Oettinger, I can only support your efforts to achieve the highest safety measures from a European perspective – very much in the interests of healthy people and a healthy environment."@en1
