"The need for increased safety of offshore oil and gas activities has been dramatically highlighted by recent accidents, most notably by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Since offshore activities in the Mediterranean are likely to increase due to the discovery of new reserves of fossil fuel, and an accident of such 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, sustainable management of the offshore activities of the oil and gas sector is clearly necessary. In the hope that the EU will promote international cooperation to improve offshore safety, I voted in favour of the proposal."@en1
