A LUTA CONTRA A EXPLORAÇÃO DE PETRÓLEO E GÁS INCLUIDO NO NOSSO OBJECT SOCIAL DESDE O INICIO DA ASSOCIAÇÃO EM 2012
Artigo 4°- Fins e objectivos da AssociaçãoSensibilizar e dar a conhecer a nossa luta contra a exploração de petróleo na costa Algarvia e do Oeste, e desenvolver esforços no sentido de não só prevenir mas tambem impedir a contaminação do mar e praias, e também impedir outros danos ambientais.
TAMBEM INCLUÍDO NO OBJECTO DA ASMAA – Artigo 3°• À Associação cumpre também:
• promover a coesão social, promoção dos valores democráticos, incluindo a defesa dos Direitos Humanos, dos direitos das minorias e da luta contra discriminações das comunidades afectadas.
• representar e defender os legítimos interesses dos turistas, visitantes e residentes que estão associados.
• 19 July 2015 Member States must bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the Directive
TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS • 19 July 2016
Laws, regulations and administrative provisions are to be applied to owners and operators of planned production installations and operators planning or executing well operations
• 19 July 2018Member States are to apply the laws, regulations and administrative provisions to existing installations
OIL LICENSING• EU 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.
TRANSPARENCY AND INFORMATION SHARING• Under 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.
RECAP – EU WIDE SAFETY STANDARDS• before 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 operation
• national 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 production
• information on how companies and EU countries keep installations safe must be made available for citizens
• companies 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.
Portugal não vai ganhar dinheiro com a exploração de petróleo (0.10c / 0.25c por barril)…
Antonio Costa Silva (Partex) responde:
“Portugal ainda NÃO provou que tem recursos.” Justificando assim que a posição negocial não pode ser comparável à dos grandes produtores de petróleo e gás africanos ou asiáticos.
O presidente da Entidade Nacional para o Mercado de Combustíveis (ENMC), Paulo Carmona, afirmou hoje à Lusa que os contratos de concessão, pesquisa, desenvolvimento e produção de petróleo nas áreas designadas por Aljezur e Tavira prevêem apenas pesquisa em terra, com recursos a métodos tradicionais, por um período de quatro anos.

Hydraulic Fracturing is a how natural gas is extracted from shale rock hundreds of feet below ground.Because dangerous chemicals and explosions are used in the process, concerned citizens are demanding that safeguards are in place to protect ground and surface waters, air, land, and the health of humans and livestock.Currently, these safeguards are NOT in place, thanks to gas industry lobbyists in Europe.
The problem is that the injected water is mixed with a cocktail of chemicals and the process of pumping it below round releases gases such as methane as well as salts and metals.
In addition, much of the contaminated water used in the fracking process resurfaces, and is classed as hazardous waste that needs to be treated – an added potential pollutant.
