"Mr President, I think we can all agree on the need for better safety, particularly in offshore production and exploration activities, but it is very important that we get the rules right for those that work on these facilities. It was quite interesting that at the beginning of this debate they were looking, as my colleague said previously, for a one-size-fits-all European solution. This would actually have been disastrous for the British offshore exploration industry, because what would have happened was that all those high level standards that we had would have been thrown out and we would have had to bring in another set of rules – which may well have achieved the same thing but at a much greater cost.
Thank goodness common sense has prevailed and we have more flexibility in that way, but we still have to be concerned here about this approach of one-size-fits-all. Let us look at outcomes. At the end of the day we have safety, whether it is done at a common European level or at national level. Surely the goal is safety and exploration."@en1
