On 27 October 2011 the European Commission published a proposal for a Council decision on the accession of the European Union to the Protocol for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea against pollution resulting from exploration and exploitation of the continental shelf and the seabed and its subsoil, known as the ‘Offshore Protocol’. Although it entered into force on 24 March 2011, to date the protocol has not been signed or ratified by the European Union. Recent accidents, especially the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, have highlighted the need for increased safety of offshore oil and gas exploitation activities along with the need for a policy of sustainable governance of oil and gas exploitation activities and the promotion of international cooperation to improve offshore safety and the response capability of all involved parties. Bearing in mind that the European Parliament, in its resolution of 13 September 2011 on facing the challenges of the safety of offshore oil and gas activities, already stressed the importance of bringing the Offshore Protocol fully into force, I voted in favour of this recommendation."@en1
