lpv:translated text	". Mr President, the rapporteur has already explained that the European Parliament helped to get EMAS II, as it is referred to, framed more strictly and not watered down too much; she also explained that the Conciliation Committee refused to give ground and did not deviate from the fundamental requirements for this voluntary eco-audit system. It is precisely because this is a voluntary eco-audit system that we need to give it credibility and we have succeeded in achieving this in our dealings with the Council. I believe a basic requirement of EMAS II is to ensure that existing environmental legislation is respected. It would have been a disgrace if this principle had been dropped at third reading. We have also succeeded in achieving greater transparency, that is improved information for the public and other stakeholders. My group also thought it was very important for employees and their representatives to be actively involved in the organisation. There has been a great deal of discussion about this request, and it is evident that the somewhat more complicated wording now found in the text is more to the liking of those representing the Council than the very clear requirement which the European Parliament had originally formulated. My group is nevertheless satisfied, and on behalf of the Group of the Party of European Socialists I would like to emphasise once again that both legal compliance and the involvement of employees and those representing them are important for EMAS, and I await the Commission's assessment with bated breath."@en1
