lpv:translated text	"The accident on the Deepwater Horizon platform in the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010 reminds us of just how dangerous offshore oil drilling is for the environment, biodiversity and coastal populations. It is a reminder that the European Parliament has fully taken on board, since it adopted a resolution this lunchtime strengthening the environmental and safety standards applicable to all offshore oil and gas activities. These activities represent a crucial method of supply, since more than 90% of the oil and 60% of the gas in the EU is extracted offshore. I am pleased that the ‘polluter pays’ principle has been clearly upheld in the resolution. Paragraph 76 explicitly calls for the scope of the Environmental Liability Directive to be extended to all damage caused to marine waters and biodiversity, with increased liability for oil and gas companies, which would cover the full cost of potential damage. The European Parliament has also shown sense in rejecting the proposal aimed at introducing a moratorium on all new deep-sea oil drilling in EU waters: a disproportionate choice in view of the need to ensure high safety standards in European waters."@en1
