lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I endorse Mrs Jackson’s report, which makes some very valid points, particularly in its explanation as to why we do not want a recommendation, but a directive. If we had had such inspections over the last few days in Greece, especially in Athens, even in the form recommended by Mrs Jackson, we certainly would have been able to protect, albeit indirectly, by looking after the land and the urban environment, most of the dead, the injured and the thousands of homeless which our capital is witnessing today. That is why we support the proposal for environmental inspections. I just wish to add two comments, Mr President, one of which is in slight disagreement with Mrs Jackson. I too believe that the inspections should at some point be carried out at a Community and pan-European level. It is not certain, it is not inevitable, as Mrs Jackson says, that this will lead to increased “red tape”. There are ways in which we can organise it to make the inspections of a random nature and perhaps have them at a higher level of legal redress, which would not necessarily involve any red tape. On the other hand, it incorporates rules and, I believe, it satisfies all the citizens of the European Union, who not only want the legislation to be enforced but who also want it to be enforced to the same degree and at the same level in all the countries. My second comment – and I am, of course, stirred by my anguish and great sorrow in the wake of those earthquakes in Athens – is that our environmental legislation, which we will now have to review and enforce, still does not incorporate any, or does not incorporate enough, regulations on the use of land, the urban environment, and the degradation of the environment within towns and cities. With these two comments, which I hope we will be able to bring to the table as soon as we have settled the general issue raised thanks to Mrs Jackson’s report, I once again wish to offer my support of the report."@en1
