WHAT, WHERE AND WHO


ASMAA 2014 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationEU DIRECTIVES

EU LEGISLATION


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationEU IMPLEMENTATION DEADLINES18 July 2013Directive came into force19 July 2015Member States must bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the DirectiveTRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS19 July 2016Laws, regulations and administrative provisions are to be applied to owners and operators of planned production installations and operators planning or executing well operations19 July 2018Member States are to apply the laws, regulations and administrative provisions to existing installationsWHAT DOES THE EU SAY?


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationSAFETYOn 10 June 2013 the EU adopted a Directive on safety of offshore oil and gas operations. The new rules (initially proposed to take the form of a regulation) will make sure that the highest safety standards will be followed at every oil and gas platform across Europe. It will also ensure that we react effectively and promptly should an accident nevertheless occur. This would help minimise the possible damage to the environment and the livelihoods of coastal communities. The new directive sets clear rules that cover the whole lifecycle of all exploration and production activities from design to the final removal of an oil or gas installation. WHAT DOES THE EU SAY?


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationOIL LICENSINGEU countries have to follow strict rules when issuing licenses for searching for, drilling for and producing oil: the Hydrocarbons Licensing Directive (94/22/EC) ensures a competitive, non-discriminatory and transparent European market and improves the security of supply.Directive 94/22/EC of 30 May 1994 on the conditions for granting and using authorisations for the prospection, exploration and production of hydrocarbons National governments can determine the geographical areas for prospecting, exploring for and producing hydrocarbons. However, they have to follow a specific procedure when granting licences: an invitation for applications has to be published in the Official Journal of the EU at least 90 days before the closing date for applications. This notice should specify information such as the geographical area, the type of authorisation and selection criteria for applicants. All interested companies can submit applications.In their annual reports, EU countries have to inform the European Commission (EC), amongst others, on the geographical areas opened and the licences issued to companies.WHAT DOES THE EU SAY?


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationLIABILITY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGEThe Directive requires Member States to ensure that licensees are financially liable for the prevention and remediation of environmental damage, as defined under the Environmental Liability Directive (ELD), caused by offshore oil and gas activities carried out by, or on behalf of, the licensee or the operator. This means that a licensee that is not the operator is still liable under the ELD. The Directive contains an amendment to the ELD under which the ELD provisions dealing with water damage now also apply to the marine waters of Member States. Consequently, liability under the ELD has been extended.The Directive does not contain any provisions on civil liability on the part of licensees for loss or damage suffered by third parties. However, in 2012 the European Commission ordered a study into issues relating to such liability, so this topic may very well be covered by EU legislation in the near future.WHAT DOES THE EU SAY?


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationTRANSPARENCY AND INFORMATION SHARINGUnder the Directive, Member States must ensure that operators (or owners) provide the relevant competent authority with the information described in Annex IX to the Directive. This includes information relating to any unintended release of oil or gas, any failure of a safety and environmental critical element, any fatal accident, any evacuation of personnel, helicopter accidents, etc. Member States are also required to make such information publicly available.When reporting the requisite information, operators and owners must do so using a common data reporting format, to be drawn up by the Commission. Member States must submit annual reports to the Commission on offshore safety and environmental impact based on the information provided by operators.WHAT DOES THE EU SAY?


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationRECAP EU WIDE SAFETY STANDARDSbefore exploration or production begins, companies must prepare a Major Hazard Report for their offshore installation. This report must contain a risk assessment and an emergency response plan. technical solutions which are critical for the safety of operators' installations must be independently verified. This must be done prior to the installation going into operationnational authorities must verify safety provisions, environmental protection measures, and the emergency preparedness of rigs and platforms. If companies do not respect the minimum standards, EU countries can impose sanctions, including halting productioninformation on how companies and EU countries keep installations safe must be made available for citizenscompanies will be fully liable for environmental damages caused to protected marine species and natural habitats. For damage to marine habitats, the geographical zone will cover all EU marine waters including exclusive economic zones and continental shelves.WHAT DOES THE EU SAY?

RECAP OF BENEFITS FOR PORTUGAL


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationQUESTIONS?

WHAT, WHERE AND WHO


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationOIL AND GAS DO WE REALLY NEED IT?

SITUATIONUNCONVENTIONAL, UNNECESSARY AND UNWANTED


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationWHY IS IT A GAMBLE THAT PORTUGAL DOES NOT NEED TO TAKE?

The Government gave the green light to many oil and gas companies without any public consultation, poor disclosures and without the necessary EIAs having been done.

ASMAA believes that this is a misguided gamble that we do not need to take.Oil and Gas exploration helps to keep us hooked on fossil fuels instead of moving towards an energy system based on energy saving and renewable sources; Brings serious risks to the local environment, peoples health, and will not cut energy bills or create jobs.

UNCONVENTIONAL, UNNECESSARY AND UNWANTED


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationWHAT ARE THE RISKS FOR THE ALGARVE?QUAIS SAO OS RISCOS PARA O ALGARVE?

RISKS


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationOUR MARINE WILDLIFE / A NATUREZA MARITIMAThe Algarve marine environment includes many unique and fragile ecosystems, and is home to many species, including seabirds, shorebirds, whales and dolphins. A deep sea oil or gas disaster will leave our local marine flora and fauna vulnerable to the toxic effects of oil and gas.

O ambiente marinho no Algarve inclui muitos ecossistemas nicos e frgeis, e o lar de muitas espcies entre elas aves marinhas, baleias e golfinhos. Um desastre de petrleo ou gs vai deixar a nossa flora e a fauna marinha totalmente vulnerveis e ate desfeitos por causa dos efeitos txicos do petrleo ou do gs.

THE IMPACT

From thisTo this


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationTHE FISHING INDUSTRY / A PESCACommercial fishing rank as one of our most economic mechanisms that needs to be preserved, while recreational fishing is one of the Algarves most popular activities. A deep sea oil or gas disaster as well as seismic surveys impacts directly on our local fishing industries resulting in both the loss of valuable fish stocks and the loss of industry jobs.

A pesca comercial e um dos nossos mecanismos econmicos que precisa de ser preservado, enquanto que a pesca desportiva uma das atividades mais populares do Algarve. Um desastre de petrleo ou de gas no mar, tambem como as pesquisas impacta diretamente nas nossas indstrias de pesca, resultando em perdas de valiosos recursos e tambem a perda de muitos postos de trabalho na indstria.

THE IMPACT

From thisTo this


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationTOURISM - TURISMOThe pristine coastlines and unique wildlife of the Algarve attract tens of thousands of international tourists annually, injecting an economic boost into the region.

A deep sea oil or gas disaster will have a pivotal role in tourists' decisions to visit the Algarve.

As zonas costeiras que so nesta altura ainda imaculadas e a vida selvagem que existe no Algarve atrai dezenas de milhares de turistas por ano, injetando um impulso econmico para a regio.

O perigo de um desastre de petrleo ter um papel negativo na deciso dos turistas visitarem o Algarve.

ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationRECREATIONAL WATER SPORTS / DESPORTOS AQUATICOSThe Algarve offers unparalleled opportunities for ocean sports such as surfing, kayaking, wind surfing, jet skiing, diving and boating. A deep sea oil or gas disaster will invariably impact many local businesses, organisations, and individuals who enjoy the Algarves waters.

O Algarve oferece oportunidades sem paralelo para desportos martimos e de atividades de aventura, como o surf, caiaque, windsurf, jet ski, mergulho e passeios de barco entre outros. Um desastre de petrleo ou de gas no mar, invariavelmente vai ter um impacto negativo nas muitas empresas que prestam esses servidos aos nossos turistas e visitantes, e para todas as organizaes e indivduos que gostam da praia, do mar e do sol do Algarve.

THE IMPACT

From thisTo this


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationALGARVE ASSETS / BENS E RECURSOS NATURAISWe should be protecting our national assets, not selling them off to be exploited by foreign corporations, or endangering them by oil or gas drilling without adequate safety measures.Devemos estar a proteger os nossos bens e recursos naturais, e no a vend-los para ser explorados por empresas estrangeiras, ou pr esses recursos em perigo e assim resultar na perca da nossa sustentabilidade por causa da explorao do petrleo no mar Algarvio sem medidas de segurana adequadas e aseguradas.

THE IMPACT


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationCLIMATE / CLIMAThe climate change impacts of fossil fuels are disastrous. Portugal should be investing in clean energy solutions instead of investing in extracting the last drops of oil from the ends of the earth. We should be climate pioneers not fossil fools.

Os impactos climticos devido a explorao de petrleo e gs so desastrosos. Portugal deve investir em solues de energia limpa e ecologica em vez de investir na extrao das ltimas gotas de petrleo dos confins da terra e do mar. Devemos ser pioneiros na rea climtica e no "tolos" ou "malucos" fsseis.

THE IMPACT


ASMAA 2015 ASMAA Algarve Surf and Marine Activities AssociationOUR WAY OF LIVE / A NOSSA MANEIRA DE VIVER This is a fundamental part of living in the Algarve, whether you are Portuguese or an Expat, and we must protect it not only for ourselves, but also for all of our visitors and for future generations.
