Russia will seek the adoption of a convention on oil spill prevention at the next G20 summit, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Friday.
"I was informed that we will come back to this issue next year, including the possibility of adopting a convention dedicated to the consequences of oil spills," Medvedev said at a press conference after the G20 meeting in South Korea.
The current international legal base does not effectively prevent such consequences, evidence of which became the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Medvedev said.
