Recent developments: Proposal for an Oil rig Regulation - Recent developments: Proposal for an Oil rig Regulation - COM/2011/0688 final /0309 (COD) Scope: aim is to include oil drilling activities, authorisations, incuding not only extraction, to be seen if exploration activities will be covered Public participation: ideally both plans (less detailed rules) and individual projects (more detailed) shall be covered - reference is proposed to public participation provisions of EIA Directive and also of Directive 2003/35/EC/SEA on plans - safety emergency plans would also be included under public participation
