"We must learn lessons from the explosion, in April, on the Deepwater Horizon oil platform, in the Gulf of Mexico, which caused huge environmental, economic and social damage in the region. We have every interest in protecting ourselves against the possibility of such a disaster. That is why I endorsed the requests to introduce an EU-wide moratorium on all new deep-sea oil drilling in EU waters, in order to ensure high safety standards across the EU. Indeed, we must establish common European rules, based on the strictest possible standards, before authorising any new deep-sea exploration and exploitation. I believe that oil and gas companies should be held accountable for any and all damage they cause and should assume full liability, without any upper limit, for potential damage. Lastly, I support the ban on exploration and exploitation in sensitive areas requiring protection, in particular, the Arctic, and I urge the oil industry to invest more in prevention."@en1
