"I voted in favour of the draft European Parliament legislative resolution on EU accession 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. The Protocol entered into force on 24 March 2011, following its ratification by six contracting parties (Albania, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya, Cyprus and Syria), and so far has neither been signed nor ratified by the Union. Given that, following the discovery of new reserves of fossil fuels in the Mediterranean, offshore activities are likely to increase, a potential accident could have immediate large-scale effects. For this reason I think that the EU’s ratification of the Offshore Protocol would constitute important leverage to ensure a good level of cooperation and the continued concrete commitment of all Mediterranean countries to the achievement of the maximum possible safety of offshore activities."@en1
