". – Mr President, honourable Members of the European Parliament, at the second reading in January, I commented that there was extensive agreement between the institutions on the programme and I hoped at that time that this would be an indication that the three institutions could quickly come to a final agreement on the programme. I was not disappointed and I also commended at the time the spirit with which Mrs Myller, as rapporteur, had approached the second reading. The fact that she focused her amendments with care and precision meant that it was possible to reach a sensible compromise with the Council.
This agreement provides an excellent basis for the Community's environment policy for the next ten years. The priorities: climate, biodiversity, health, resources and waste. The approach: a knowledge-based approach, consultation, assessment of costs and benefits – and the means: legislation, market instruments, integration, involving citizens and stakeholders, better implementation of Community law.
It is an action programme. Perhaps Mrs Schörling forgot to mention that there are also 104 different actions that are identified. It means that it is a programme for all – you can actually check on whether or not we deliver on these actions.
Integration is at the heart of the programme and the programme is at the heart of the Community's sustainable development strategy, which we shall be taking forward with Parliament's support as demonstrated in Strasbourg earlier this month, to the World Summit in Johannesburg after the summer, and from then on of course.
Once again, let me offer my congratulations to Mrs Myller; it is very much thanks to her and all the colleagues in the European Parliament who have worked to bring this proposal to the point of adoption that we now have this new Sixth Environmental Action Programme. The hard work is, however, only just beginning, especially for the Commission. I look forward to continuing cooperation between Commission and Parliament in the implementation of this programme. Next time when we have a formal opportunity, we should bring out the champagne."@en1
