lpv:translated text	"Indigenous supplies of oil and gas provide an important contribution to the EU’s energy consumption and energy security. In the EU, over 90% of oil, and 60% of gas, is produced via offshore operations. Activity is not uniformly distributed across the EU and the large majority of operations take place in the North Sea. Not all offshore oil and gas activity in European waters occurs in EU-controlled waters. The Deepwater Horizon disaster prompted all those involved in the exploration and extraction of offshore oil and gas to reassess the safety of their industry. The ‘safety case’ approach is based on the risks specific to a given locality. The offshore oil and gas industry boasts an improving health and safety record for personnel. However, focus on the safety of personnel should not detract from that of procedures, especially in the scope of disaster prevention and management. I firmly believe that it is right to monitor the strict checks and constant testing and assessment of the environmental impact of chemicals, in order to ensure that they are appropriate in case of escape and to limit the impact on public health and the environment."@en1
