lpv:spoken text	". Mr President, this is of course the case of the disappearing strategies and the debate has come about because we wonder where they are. Under the Sixth Environmental Action Programme, all thematic strategies were supposed to come to the European Parliament and Council within three years. Commissioner, the three years are up on 22 July. In the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety we were given a splendid outline on 21 June of which strategies would be coming in which months, all of them by 5 December: one in December, two in November, one in September, two in July, three in June. Five – on air, waste, sustainable use of resources, marine and aviation – would be with us before the summer. Then we were told that we would be starting with air pollution and the marine environment by July. Now we are into July and we have none of them. There have been rumours in the media – which we always believe – of dark deeds in the Commission: ‘Barroso mugs Dimas’, we read in the headlines. Then DG Environment confirmed that there had been no withdrawal, but that there was to be an orientation debate. Well, I thought orientation took place before you started on the journey, but apparently the journey has been interrupted while we work out where we are trying to go. If we are to assess compatibility with the Lisbon Agenda, I wonder why that was not done before. The Commissioner has rightly drawn attention to the problem of air pollution. There are some 370 000 premature and preventable deaths a year from outdoor and indoor, industrial, traffic, farming and dust pollution. Of course there is a cost to be considered, but I think Parliament believes that we should be working on the strategy with the Commission and the Council now and that, at the very least, we need a stated timetable on when each of the thematic strategies is going to come to us."@en1
