Artikolu 31

Tħejjija għal emerġenza transkonfinali u r-rispons tal-Istati Membri b'operazzjonijiet taż-żejt u tal-gass offshore taħt il-ġurisdizzjoni tagħhom

1.  Fejn Stat Membru jqis li periklu kbir relatat ma' operazzjoni taż-żejt u tal-gass offshore li għandhom isiru taħt il-ġurisdizzjoni tiegħu x'aktarx ikollu effetti sinifikanti fuq l-ambjent fi Stat Membru ieħor, huwa għandu, qabel il-bidu tal-operazzjonijiet, jibgħat l-informazzjoni rilevanti lill-Istat Membru potenzjalment affettwat u għandu jistinka, flimkien ma' dak l-Istat Membru, biex jadotta miżuri biex jipprevjeni l-ħsarat.

L-Istati Membri li jikkunsidraw lilhom infushom potenzjalment affettwati, jistgħu jitolbu l-Istat Membru li fil-ġurisdizzjoni tiegħu għandha sseħħ l-operazzjoni taż-żejt u tal-gass offshore, biex jippreżentalhom l-informazzjoni rilevanti kollha. Dawk l-Istati Membri jistgħu jevalwaw l-effettività tal-miżuri b'mod konġunt, mingħajr preġudizzju għar-responsabbiltajiet fir-rigward tal-funzjonijiet regolatorji tal-awtorita' kompetenti li jkollha l-ġurisdizzjoni għall-operazzjoni kkonċernata skont il-punti (a), (b) u (c) tal-Artikolu 8(1).

2.  Il-perikli kbar identifikati skont il-paragrafu 1 għandhom jitqiesu fil-pjanijiet interni u esterni għal emerġenza biex jiġi ffaċilitat rispons effettiv konġunt għal aċċident kbir.

3.  Fejn ikun hemm ir-riskju li effetti transkonfinali prevedibbli ta' aċċidenti kbar jaffettwaw pajjiżi terzi, l-Istati Membri għandhom, fuq bażi reċiproka, jagħmlu l-informazzjoni disponibbli lill-pajjiżi terzi.

4.  L-Istati Membri għandhom jikkoordinaw bejniethom il-miżuri relatati ma' żoni barra mill-Unjoni sabiex jevitaw effetti potenzjalment negattivi ta' operazzjonijiet taż-żejt u tal-gass offshore.

5.  L-Istati Membri għandhom regolarment jittestjaw it-tħejjija tagħhom biex jirrispondu b’mod effettiv għal inċidenti f’kooperazzjoni mal-Istati Membri potenzjalment affettwati, Aġenziji rilevanti tal-Unjoni u, fuq bażi reċiproka, pajjiżi terzi potenzjalment affettwati. Il-Kummissjoni tista’ tikkontribwixxi għal eżerċizzji ffokati fuq l-ittestjar ta' mekkaniżmi ta' emerġenza transkonfinali.

6.  Fil-każ ta’ aċċident kbir, jew ta’ theddida imminenti ta’ dan, li kellu jew li jista' jkollu effetti transkonfinali, l-Istat Membru li fil-ġuriżdizzjoni tiegħu jkun seħħ l-aċċident kbir jew it-theddida imminenti tiegħu għandu, mingħajr dewmien, jinnotifika lill-Kummissjoni u lil dawk l-Istati Membri jew il-pajjiżi terzi li jistgħu jkunu affettwati mill-aċċident kbir u għandu kontinwament jipprovdi informazzjoni rilevanti għal rispons effettiv għal emerġenza.

1. Ħarsa ġenerali

,
Article 31 1.
Where a Member State considers that a major hazard relating to offshore oil and gas operations that are to take place under its jurisdiction is likely to have significant effects on the environment in another Member State, it shall, prior to the commencement of operations, forward the relevant information to the potentially affected Member State and shall endeavour, jointly with that Member State, to adopt measures to prevent damage.

Member States that consider themselves to be potentially affected may request the Member State in whose jurisdiction the offshore oil and gas operation is to take place, to forward all relevant information to them. Those Member States may jointly assess the effectiveness of the measures, without prejudice to the regulatory functions of the competent authority with jurisdiction for the operation concerned under points (a), (b) and (c) of Article 8(1).
Article 31 2.
The major hazards identified pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be taken into account in internal and external emergency response plans to facilitate joint effective response to a major accident.
Article 31 3.
Where there is a risk of the foreseeable transboundary effects of major accidents affecting third countries, Member States shall, on a reciprocal basis, make information available to the third countries.
Article 31 4.
Member States shall coordinate between themselves measures relating to areas outside of the Union in order to prevent potential negative effects of offshore oil and gas operations.
Article 31 5.
Member States shall regularly test their preparedness to respond effectively to major accidents in cooperation with potentially affected Member States, relevant Union agencies and, on a reciprocal basis, potentially affected third countries. The Commission may contribute to exercises focused on testing transboundary emergency mechanisms.
Article 31 6.
In the event of a major accident, or of an imminent threat thereof, which has or is capable of having transboundary effects, the Member State under whose jurisdiction the situation occurs shall, without delay, notify the Commission and those Member States or third countries which may be affected by the situation and shall continuously provide information relevant for an effective emergency response.
