"Article 191 and Article 194 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union state that the Member States are responsible for setting the conditions for the exploitation of their energy resources, and that they must act on the basis of preventative action to safeguard the environment and energy security.
I am voting for the report because I believe it makes suggestions that will prevent accidents from occurring. All the stages of work, from the start of exploration to decommissioning, must have a rigorous and structured plan for safety, health and the environment, with a view to guaranteeing the stability of the maritime ecosystem. I would like to stress that processes should follow a series of common EU criteria, and that facilities should be inspected periodically by independent specialists.
It is important to ensure that inspection bodies are equipped with the most advanced risk monitoring methods and technologies. Although a best practices network already exists, I consider it important to organise inter-regional forums, and joint meetings between political authorities and oil and gas companies, as well as to promote increased multilateral cooperation for better knowledge sharing. Finally, I believe that the workers should be involved in setting working conditions, thereby fostering a preventative culture as regards workplace health and safety."@en1
