Memo: Regulators in the EU and US Call upon International Oil and Gas Companies to Raise Global Safety Standards

The European Commissioner for Energy, Guenther Oettinger, has called for operating and drilling companies to deliver the highest standards including when operating outside of American and European regulated waters, just days before European rules on offshore safety for European companies abroad enter into force, and just a few months before additional requirements for companies operating in US waters take effect.
