00:00:00,454 --> 00:00:04,418
Greetings ladies and gentlemen of the Croatia

2
00:00:04,418 --> 00:00:06,336
Driven by contant misinformation

3
00:00:06,630 --> 00:00:09,500
that is released by the Agency for Hydrocarbons

4
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:13,607
regarding the process of exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons in the Adriatic sea

5
00:00:13,607 --> 00:00:17,435
is adhering to Croatian law

6
00:00:17,435 --> 00:00:23,057
and reported to the media to minimize the potential impact of exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons on the environment and economy.

7
00:00:23,057 --> 00:00:24,882
As a representative in the European Parliament

8
00:00:24,882 --> 00:00:30,106
I decided to react and protect the public interest of all citizens of Croatia

9
00:00:30,882 --> 00:00:33,723
The duty of all citizens

10
00:00:33,811 --> 00:00:37,468
as well as the Croatian Government to respect the Constitution

11
00:00:37,621 --> 00:00:38,982
which in Article 70

12
00:00:38,982 --> 00:00:41,683
guarantees all citizens the right to a healthy life

13
00:00:41,683 --> 00:00:44,912
and requires the government to guarantee a healthy environment.

14
00:00:44,912 --> 00:00:47,127
Under the same law, everyone is required

15
00:00:47,127 --> 00:00:51,681
based on their ability work to preserve human health

16
00:00:51,681 --> 00:00:54,221
nature and the environment.

17
00:00:54,378 --> 00:00:58,432
In the matter of exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons in the Adriatic sea

18
00:00:58,432 --> 00:01:01,450
The agency for hydrocarbons and the Croatian government

19
00:01:01,450 --> 00:01:05,629
has violated articles 55 and 56 of the environmental protection laws.

20
00:01:06,018 --> 00:01:10,582
The contract with the exploration company Spectrum

21
00:01:10,582 --> 00:01:14,013
should have happened only after the Parliament passed the law

22
00:01:14,013 --> 00:01:17,813
"Strategiju upravljanja morskim okolišem i obalnim područjem"

23
00:01:17,843 --> 00:01:21,565
The procedures defined by the law require public consultation

24
00:01:21,565 --> 00:01:24,648
environmental impact studies, consultations

25
00:01:24,648 --> 00:01:27,747
with other countries that surround the Adriatic sea

26
00:01:27,747 --> 00:01:30,376

27
00:01:30,597 --> 00:01:32,327
and the main economic interests.

28
00:01:32,632 --> 00:01:37,483
and the adoption of the actions as prescribed by the law.

29
00:01:37,483 --> 00:01:40,666
"The current Law on exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons

30
00:01:40,666 --> 00:01:43,977
does not comply with Directive 2013/30 / EU.

31
00:01:43,977 --> 00:01:46,933
The agency for hydrocarbons and the Minister of the Economy

32
00:01:46,933 --> 00:01:51,926
has just announced a law on the safety of offshore oil and gas activities

33

34
