Accidents which have occurred in recent years, such as the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, have once again highlighted the need for stringent security rules and regulations along with supervision for any marine activity related to the extraction of oil and gas. As we are seeing an increasing number of new exploration activities for fossil fuels within the European Union too, it is important for EU legislation to keep abreast of these trends. On this basis I voted in favour of the proposal to ratify the Mediterranean Sea Protocol as this confirms the Union’s commitment in this direction at international level as well. It should be noted, however, that the regulation will only be complete if it not only declares the ‘polluter pays’ principle but also provides appropriate financial security to ensure that any damage caused by a potential industrial disaster can indeed be paid for by the polluter."@en1
