lpv:translated text	". The proposed regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 establishing a European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) provides an opportunity for strengthening the existing functions of EMSA so as to encourage the achievement of the environmental protection objectives and boost the accident response capacity in EU waters. The Agency’s tasks relate to both accidental and illegal spills. They initially focused on pollution caused by oil and gas. However, since 2007 the Agency has also been actively involved with maritime pollution caused by hazardous and harmful substances (such as chemicals). The Agency should carry out inspections in third countries in the Mediterranean, Black Sea and Baltic Sea regions in whose waters oil and gas exploration and production activities are taking place, and assist those third countries in strengthening their capacity to improve the safety of their offshore operations. Cooperation with third countries in carrying out tasks should be strengthened in order to enable swifter action. Setting up the oil and gas spill detection and monitoring system at EU level also costs the European taxpayer less (decrease of around 20%) and is more effective than doing it at national level."@en1
