lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I am grateful to Ms Ford for the work she has done, but I would like to point out that the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance has tabled an alternative resolution, one of the key points of which concerns the protection of sensitive natural areas, and specifically the Arctic. Indeed, granting exploration or exploitation licences means accepting liability, in the event of an accident of the kind we saw in the Gulf of Mexico and also in Scotland, for irreversible or very destructive damage in this unique part of the world. Furthermore, one is entitled to ask who is going to clean up this site in the event of an accident, since it is not an exclusive economic zone, and who defines its borders and hence the responsibilities relating to it: it is an area that belongs to everyone. I should like to draw my fellow Members’ attention to a number of points, the first of which is supervision. Supervision needs to be enhanced, but it would be good if it were carried out at European level and if the Maritime Safety Agency were responsible for it. Secondly, responsibilities need to be clearly defined. Amendment 76 establishes the full liability of oil companies, without any upper limit. At the same time, Amendment 47 defines civil liability, which covers not only environmental damage, but also social and economic damage, with guaranteed financial capacity to cover mandatory insurance. Including small oil companies in our deliberations is all well and good, but if they do not have any insurance, there is no point in granting them a licence. These points are therefore very important."@en1
