"The environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, which resulted from a huge oil spill, has made a current issue out of concerns over the risks, responsibilities, and legislation surrounding oil exploration and extraction. The report that will be voted on tomorrow reflects the EU’s responsibility to ensure that its coasts are protected and that it has the capacity to respond to this type of environmental disaster. I would welcome the introduction of the suggestions I have tabled, especially with regard to European coordination and the role of the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA). As regards coordination at EU level and with neighbouring countries, there is a need to ensure best practices and the harmonisation of the various approaches to both preventing and responding to accidents in the EU’s various regions. I should like to highlight the role of the EMSA, located in Lisbon, which provides aid and technical assistance in the areas of safety, and of protecting the sea from pollution caused by ships. This report proposes extending the EMSA’s competences with regard to monitoring, sharing information, and coordinating prevention and response."@en1
