"It is important for the EU to ensure that its coasts are protected. It is also necessary for the legislation in force to make oil exploration and extraction safer.
The Lisbon-based European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) provides support and technical assistance for drawing up and applying Union legislation on maritime safety and protection, as well as on pollution caused by ships.
In June of this year, I submitted a written suggestion to Commissioners Oettinger, Kallas and Georgieva to extend the mandate of the EMSA to create mechanisms for supervising safety on European oil platforms located in the North Sea, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, and to make it responsible for preventing environmental disasters related to oil exploration. This suggestion enables an economy of scale at the level of financial, human and technical resources.
I welcome the Commissioners’ response, which demonstrated openness to reviewing the EMSA regulations, expanding its mandate as regards intervention in maritime pollution incidents. I call once again for the European Commission to expand the EMSA’s mandate, so as to ensure that our coasts are protected."@en1
