"The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), which provides aid and technical assistance in the areas of safety, has been playing an increasingly important role in defending the marine environment. I welcome the fact that this report strengthens aspects for which I have fought, and which have already been adopted during this sitting through the Ford report. These are prevention and response mechanisms in the case of environmental disasters relating to oil and gas platforms.
In the period of economic and financial crisis that we are currently experiencing, and with a view to economies of scale, it makes perfect sense to use existing infrastructure to expand the competences of the EMSA. I would stress the need for coordination at EU level and with neighbouring countries, so as to ensure best practices and the harmonisation of the various approaches to both preventing and responding to accidents in the EU’s various regions. Only with a global approach will we achieve greater safety in oil- and gas-sector activities as regards the environmental, economic and social damage caused by potential offshore accidents."@en1
