# Council Decision (EU) 2019/1727 of 7 October 2019 on the position to be adopted on behalf of the European Union at the Second Ministerial Meeting of the Bonn Agreement with regard to the Ministerial Declaration and the Bonn Agreement Strategic Action Plan (BASAP) 2019-2025 annexed thereto, Division 10


Recognising the changing risks from increasing transport of hazardous and noxious substances, larger ships, autonomous ships, new fuels, persistently high traffic densities, offshore oil and gas operations and other maritime activities, we note the importance of maintaining an adequate balance of resources for ensuring efficient pollution prevention and response work in the Greater North Sea and its Approaches. We agree that further development of response capacities in the Bonn Agreement area should be based on national and joint risk assessments.
