<p>As a self-governing Overseas Territory, economic development, including the development
and exploitation of hydrocarbons, is a matter for the Falkland Islands Government,
in accordance with all relevant laws. The UK Government supports the right of the
Falkland Islanders to develop their natural resources for their own economic benefit.
This is an integral part of their right of self-determination. The UK Government is
working closely with the Falkland Islands Government to support their right to develop
its hydrocarbons resources and we are ready to offer UK expertise on how to mitigate
environmental impacts, including emissions.</p>
