lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I voted against this resolution because, I am afraid to say, it shows how the funds available to the European Union are spent unwisely. In my opinion, this should be considered to be a waste of resources: in one sense we are throwing money down the drain, for EUR 12.4 million is to be spent over a period of four years – from 2001 to 2004 – to facilitate the application of Community environment legislation at local level. Now then, as the report itself says, at best we would be able to finance a dozen or so projects. This is equivalent to waiting for rain in the desert and then one drop falling every square kilometre. It would go no way at all towards quenching the thirst of the parched. In my opinion, the Union's financial expenditure should be carried out uniformly wherever possible. Here, in practice, it is as if money were being given to the first takers out of a crowd of parched, starving people begging for a crust of bread. I do not feel that this is the right way to be spending the European Union's funds."@en1
