"The serious disaster that took place more than a year ago at the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico reminded us of the importance of increasing safety measures for offshore oil and gas extraction activities. To this end, I should like to reiterate the need for greater dialogue and more effective cooperation between the supervisory bodies in order to normalise and improve the various European safety standards. It is also quite appropriate to remember that the riskiest drilling activities take place on the more than 1 000 installations in the North Sea, while in the Mediterranean Sea, the offshore installations are less dangerous since they do not extract oil and gas at critical depths. Every extraction operation must therefore be examined according to its characteristics and specific risks. We now await the Commission’s legislative proposal that will turn these rules guaranteeing our safety and that of our seas into binding measures."@en1
