On 27 October 2011, the Commission published a proposal for a Council Decision to approve the accession of the European Union to the Protocol for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea against pollution resulting from exploration and exploitation of the continental shelf and the seabed and its subsoil (the ‘Offshore Protocol’). The need for increased safety of offshore oil and gas exploitation activities has been dramatically highlighted by recent accidents, most notably by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. A policy of sustainable governance of oil and gas offshore activities is clearly needed. The planned response to the situation at EU level includes a Commission proposal, currently under discussion, for a Regulation on safety of offshore oil and gas prospection, exploration and production activities. In fact, the European Parliament already expressed its position in its resolution of 13 September 2011 on facing the challenges of the safety of offshore oil and gas activities, where it stressed the importance of bringing fully into force the un-ratified 1994 Mediterranean Offshore Protocol, targeting protection against pollution resulting from exploration and exploitation."@en1
