) Adopted on 14 October 1994, the Offshore Protocol is one of the protocols to the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Region of the Mediterranean. The European Union and all EU Mediterranean coastal Member States are Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention, together with 14 other Mediterranean countries. The Offshore Protocol covers a wide range of exploration and exploitation activities in the Mediterranean as well as permit requirements, removal of abandoned or disused installations, use and removal of harmful substances, liability and compensation requirements, and safety matters. The Protocol entered into force on 24 March 2011, following its ratification by six contracting parties, and so far has been neither signed nor ratified by the Union. The accession of the Union requires the consent of the European Parliament. An accident could have large-scale effects on the economy and fragile ecosystems. A policy of sustainable governance of oil and gas offshore activities is clearly needed, also to protect the environment against pollution resulting from exploration and exploitation."@en1
