To ask His Majesty's Government how many offshore oil and gas installations in the UK sector of the North Sea have been granted exemptions from full removal under OSPAR Decision 98/3 since 2000; and on what grounds these exemptions were approved.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many offshore oil and gas installations in the UK sector of the North Sea have been granted exemptions from full removal under OSPAR Decision 98/3 since 2000; and on what grounds these exemptions were approved.
Since 2000 there have been 7 derogations (exemptions) approved under the procedures set out under OSPAR Decision 98/3. Following an assessment of options and national and international consultations, HM Government was satisfied that leave in situ was the most appropriate solution on balance considering safety risks, environmental impact, technical feasibility, and economic and societal effects.
Details of all derogations are available via OSPAR’s public Inventory of Offshore Installations website.
The UK is committed to targets under international biodiversity agreements to value, conserve and restore the variety of life on earth (biodiversity). Progress towards targets is tracked using indicators, which are designed to summarise complex monitoring data. This POSTnote reviews indicator use and development in the context of the post-2020 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Global Biodiversity Framework.

The UK Government will continue to support the valuable work of the OSPAR Convention and to play a leading role in its programmes for protecting the North East Atlantic Ocean. As we leave the EU it will provide an important opportunity for us to collaborate and coordinate our work on protecting the marine environment with those countries that neighbour our seas.

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy will consider the Brent field decommissioning proposal based on the evidence presented in the decommissioning plan and the supporting information provided in the decommissioning plan package. The proposal to leave the Brent installations in situ will be considered in accordance with OSPAR Decision 98/3 on the disposal of disused offshore installations. In doing so, the Department will apply Annex 2 of OSPAR decision 98/3 which sets out the framework for the assessment of the proposals for the disposal at sea of discussed offshore installations.
Plastic pollution is accumulating rapidly in the world’s oceans. The potential effects of microplastics on the environment and human health are an area of active research. This POSTnote summarises their sources and spread, the evidence that they present a risk and possible strategies to reduce plastic pollution.

The Government considers that the safe and secure permanent disposal of radioactive waste in a geological disposal facility is not incompatible with the OSPAR1 strategy to prevent pollution of the maritime area from ionising radiation.
The design and location of a geological disposal facility in the UK has yet to be determined. Full consideration of all UK obligations under international treaties will be taken into account in deciding on the design and location of the facility.
