lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I have to say that we welcome with interest, almost with some enthusiasm, the decisions taken recently which have now been included in these documents on public participation – one might almost say, playing on words, at least as far as Italian is concerned, ‘private participation’, for the word ‘public’ usually refers to public structures or institutions whereas, here, it is intended to denote the participation of the citizens, of associations – in this process: a process which is not new today but was already present in previous acts of the European Union and in the context of which an evaluation had been set in motion, within certain constraints, of transparency, of objectivity and of the citizens interest in environmental issues being dealt with in a certain way. We are now faced with something more, something different, and that is positive. Indeed, what is happening through this process? We hope that the impetus to act – starting before the moment of decision-making – will come via those who are closest to the region, to the town, to the environment, and that it will then be taken up, transformed and handed back down in the form of guidelines, requirements and, if necessary, constraints, regulated through these rules by those with the authority to do so. Basically, we must give the citizens the ability to act in a sector which does, indeed, concern them, which concerns even those who do not want to be involved, for the consequences of environmental damage affect the citizens first and foremost. I must point out, in conclusion, that it will not, however, be at all easy to harmonise the different national laws with European requirements and directives."@en1
