lpv:spoken text	"I welcome this proposal. The need for increased safety in offshore oil and gas exploitation has been dramatically highlighted by recent accidents, most notably by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Offshore activities in the Mediterranean are likely to increase due to the discovery of new reserves of fossil fuel, and an accident of this kind could have immediate large-scale effects on a semi-closed sea such as the Mediterranean, causing tragic consequences for its economy and its fragile ecosystems, and undermining the efforts made by EU Mediterranean coastal Member States to achieve and maintain good environmental status in their marine waters, as required by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. A policy of sustainable governance of oil and gas offshore activities is clearly needed."@en1
