"In the EU, over 90% of oil, and 60% of gas, is produced via offshore operations, the majority of which take place in the North Sea. Given the importance of oil extraction for those countries that perform it and the dangers it involves, which can be seen from the terrible consequences of oil spills, it is crucial that the Union creates the conditions for the safest possible oil extraction. To this end, it is important that there be adequate legislation in place that includes basic safety standards for offshore oil and gas production, so as to guarantee safe extraction and security of supply in the European Union. As I am Portuguese, I am bound to remember the
disaster, which had a profound effect on the Galician coastline. I therefore call for the measures now being proposed not to be confined just to oil exploration and extraction, but to include transportation and supply. Tanker accidents are, unfortunately, more common than we would like, so it is important to review safety standards in this area too, so as to reduce the likelihood of such disasters."@en1
