lpv:translated text	"Indigenous supplies of oil and gas provide an important contribution to the EU’s energy consumption and energy security. In the EU, over 90% of oil, and 60% of gas, is produced via offshore operations. Activity is not uniformly distributed across the EU and the large majority of operations take place in the North Sea. Within the EU, two Member States alone account for about 80% of crude oil production, whilst Norway produces more than all 27 Member States put together. There are major safety challenges in offshore oil and gas activities. Although the licensing of exploitation is a competence of the Member States, it is essential to fight for high safety standards throughout the EU. As such, this report puts an important series of safety proposals to the Member States. I share the rapporteur’s opinion of the proposal that all Member States’ legislative and regulatory frameworks should adopt a robust regime, in line with current best practices, where all drilling proposals are accompanied by a safety case, which needs to be approved before operations can begin."@en1
