"I voted in favour of the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 1406/2002 establishing a European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA). The Commission’s proposal is based on a 2008 consultation with EMSA’s stakeholders, an external evaluation and a Commission impact assessment. It also reflects EMSA’s five-year strategy, adopted by its Administrative Board. The Commission has also published a report () showing that an EU oil spill detection and monitoring system reduces costs by around 20% compared to national systems.
EMSA has already been given new tasks as a result of the implementation of the third maritime safety package. It has concluded a number of stand-by oil spill response vessel contracts with private operators which will switch from their regular activity into pollution response mode in the event of an emergency. The Commission proposal makes clear that these vessels could also be used to combat pollution from other sources, including oil rigs."@en1
