". In October 2011 the 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. The Protocol, also known as the ‘Offshore Protocol’, covers a wide range of exploration and exploitation activities in the Mediterranean as well as permit requirements, use and removal of harmful substances, liability and compensation requirements, and provisions on safety, contingency planning and monitoring, amongst others. Since offshore activities in the Mediterranean are likely to increase due to the discovery of new reserves of fossil fuel, there is an urgent need for increased safety of oil and natural gas extraction activities. I voted in favour of this report because I agree that the Protocol in question is fundamental for improving the sustainability and safety of offshore activities and, consequently, for protecting the Mediterranean Sea against pollution resulting from the exploration and exploitation of fossil fuels."@en1
