"Madam President, each day, we are given more information revealing the extent of the environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico caused by the failure of the offshore platform.
Let us not forget, however, that other disasters of this type are occurring elsewhere. I am thinking in particular about what is happening at this very moment, and has been happening for a long time, in Nigeria. This is why, in addition to the moratorium on further drilling, I think we need to promote more rigorous rules – not just European rules, but international ones too – on the management of platforms.
In the case of the EU, I think that it needs to equip itself with the means to prevent this type of disaster, and I think that it is also clear that all this demands, as Mrs Damanaki said, a firm and resolute decision in favour of clean, renewable energy sources. The EU ought to set an example in this area."@en1
