"I voted in favour of this report because there is a steady increase in oil and gas activities in offshore areas, where any incident could do great damage to European Union Member States. In the EU, over 90% of oil and 60% of gas is produced via offshore operations, and the North Sea is the largest oil and gas production area. The 2010 oil spill tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico was the world’s biggest and had devastating human and environmental consequences. One of the reasons for the accident was the fact that the company responsible for oil exploitation lacked appropriate containment equipment. In order to ensure safety, it is necessary to appoint an authority in the European Union Member States that would approve the safety case before any operations involving the extraction of gas or oil resources can commence. Strict requirements for monitoring safety should be imposed on the representatives of the oil production industry throughout the world in order to avoid damaging consequences in future and ensure that the environment is protected."@en1
