I welcome the approval of the European Union’s accession to the Offshore Protocol. This attests to the need for increased safety and sustainable governance of oil and gas activities in the Mediterranean. The Barcelona Convention mechanism supplements the commitments made by the EU in the context of the European Neighbourhood Policy and the Union for the Mediterranean through the flagship initiative for de-pollution of the Mediterranean, ‘Horizon 2020’. In addition to the ‘sensitive areas’ investment programme for the Mediterranean, supported by the European neighbourhood and partnership instrument, other EU programmes deserve a mention: strengthening the capacities of environmental authorities, systems for sharing information on the environment, sustainable water management, cooperation on urban development and dialogue and various other research projects. It is important for the next multiannual financial framework 2014-2020 to put EU support for de-pollution of the Mediterranean on a long-term footing. The priorities must include combating pollution by plastic residues, which are poisoning marine ecosystems."@en1
