lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the report we are now discussing is an important step on the way towards implementing the Lisbon objectives. Just like Mr Karas and Mr Bullman, I am quite disappointed that the Commission once again has managed to forget the decisions made at the Gothenburg Summit in which the environment was also to form an aspect of the Lisbon process. Although I think that it is good that the rapporteur is encouraging the Commission and the Council to add sustainable development to the rationalisation of political coordination, it can be done considerably earlier than the Commission is doing. The fact is that, besides failing to reinforce the Lisbon objectives with an environmental objective, there are also still many issues which remain to be resolved. We have discussed fisheries policy practically all night, but this also concerns an overhaul of agricultural policy, an area where we have to tackle the subsidies which we know to be damaging. We must also make sure that the environmentally harmful subsidies are abolished. This is included in the concept of ‘sustainable development’, but the Commission does not really seem to have accepted this or thought it through yet. The goal for the spring summit next year must be to create balance in the measures between all three parts of the Lisbon agenda, above all by developing the environmental dimension and continuing to strengthen and make concrete the concept of sustainable development within all three dimensions of the agenda. The Commission must do this in a much more focused way. Above all, it must be ensured that the environmental indicators are taken seriously, which will in fact not be discussed until a few days before the Council is to reach a decision on this. All the work on sustainable development in this agenda has completely the wrong focus and is going far too slowly on the part of the Commission."@en1
