The European Parliament report, for which I voted, comes in the wake of the well-known Barcelona Convention, which was signed in 1976 and amended in 1995. Under this Convention, the European Union and all the EU Member States bordering the Mediterranean comply with basic principles for the protection of the Mediterranean (licensing, removal of abandoned or decommissioned installations and harmful substances) and take responsibility for the marine environment. Offshore activities in the Mediterranean are likely to increase due to the discovery of new reserves of fossil fuels, both in Cyprus and in Greece, and therefore the offshore operations of oil and natural gas extraction will need to be managed in such a way as to prevent accidents which would have a direct and large-scale impact in a semi-enclosed sea such as the Mediterranean. Greece is therefore committed to this, and the actions which it is already promoting for the exploitation of its wealth-generating resources are in keeping with the agreements which it has signed."@en1
