"I support the text of the report on the ‘Offshore Protocol’ because I believe there is a need for increased safety of offshore oil and gas exploitation activities, especially following the dramatic accident 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 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 as required by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. In view of the importance of this Protocol on exploration and exploitation in the Mediterranean, the removal of harmful waste and the removal of disused installations, I hope that it will be complied with and implemented with provisions on safety and monitoring."@en1
