"This report emerges in the wake of previous debates in Parliament on this same issue, during which there has been insistence on the need for effective regulation and control measures to prevent accidents like that already experienced in the Gulf of Mexico, in the United States. Countless accidents have already demonstrated that offshore oil and gas activities cannot continue to be carried out with the sole objective of deriving the maximum profit for the companies involved in such activities. This jeopardises the safety of their workers and the general public, as well as natural ecosystems. The proposals tabled in the report are positive, in general, although there are some contradictions here and there.
It is vital that very clear regulations be set out for protecting the environment, public interest, the workers involved and people living nearby. There is also an urgent need to take the measures necessary to ensure compliance with these through effective monitoring and control."@en1
