"I welcome the signing of this additional protocol to resolve a political conflict which has prevented Spain and Morocco from ratifying the Cooperation Agreement for the Protection of the Coasts and Waters of the North-East Atlantic against Pollution (Lisbon Agreement). The protection of coasts and waters is strategically important for the socio-economic well-being of coastal communities, local development, employment, and the preservation and creation of economic activity. It needs to be ensured that all the European Union’s marine waters are kept are in a good environmental condition in order to guarantee sustainable development. The present protocol is directly linked to issues such as environmental protection, climate change, safety, public health, regional development, relations with third countries and development cooperation. This protocol, which will allow a variety of forms of pollution in the Atlantic to be combated, is crucial for ensuring the fight against contamination or the risk of pollution in seas or on coasts, through a mechanism that is aimed at ensuring cooperation between the contracting parties in case of a pollution-causing accident, and which will oblige them to establish and implement their own emergency structures and plans."@en1
