"Madam President, the responsibility of British Petroleum for the leak in the Gulf of Mexico is only part of the truth. The Department of Internal Affairs carried out an inspection of the installation two weeks before the disastrous leak. The United States market regulator approved the operation of the faulty installation 10 days before the accident.
Despite the increasingly strict and more complicated regulations governing offshore drilling, there was something on the government’s side which did not work. The accident in the Gulf of Mexico should not be a reason for closing similar installations around the world. A ban on offshore drilling in Europe or the US will have only one consequence – a significant increase in the transportation of crude oil in tankers, which will obviously cause damage to the environment.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge the assistance given by Taiwan, which has sent one of the world’s largest oil-skimming vessels to the area. Today, the ship is cleaning the Gulf of crude oil very effectively. This often unacknowledged country has given another edifying example of responsibility for global affairs."@en1
