lpv:translated text	". Besides the fact that I voted for the communication on the Gothenburg European Council meeting, I would like to state the following as my explanation of vote: For the first time, environmental issues are the main issue before the European Council this week in Gothenburg. The strategy of sustainable development will create a real content for the Union’s policy, particularly by uniting the economy, employment and the environment. This is an important step in the development of the EU in becoming a responsible player also in international cooperation, a good example of which is the visible defence of the Kyoto Agreement. It must be ensured that the strategy for sustainable development will not be overshadowed by other issues at the summit. In Gothenburg, the leaders of the EU must do their utmost to change the negative decision on Kyoto made by the US. As the US National Academy of Sciences agrees on the necessity of the agreement, the Bush administration should not have a problem returning to the ranks of responsible states. Serious consideration must be given to the Irish decision to vote against ratification of the Treaty of Nice. We must reassess the way the Union works and increase openness. When, according to researchers in the field, not even the Heads of State who took part in the negotiations are fully aware of the consequences of the Treaty of Nice, we might ask ourselves whether it is possible to reach a sensible decision on this issue at all. Every support must now be given to an open preparation model as the forthcoming reform of the Union gets underway. Citizens must be able to follow what is happening in the Union and the institutional reform cannot be made an exception to this principle."@en1
