Mr President, we are dealing with a profoundly European issue, a question of rights: we cannot apply European legislation without dealing with the land-planning scandal in the Mediterranean. We cannot even apply the Treaty in relation to human rights, neither can we apply the directives on public contracts, the framework directive on water, the strategic environmental assessment directive, without dealing with what the President of the Higher Council of Colleges of Architects this very morning described as the land-planning horror: he said that the Mediterranean coast is bursting at the seams, that the territory is suffering from great overcrowding and an irreversible impact that will leave an excessively serious ecological mark.
We must put an end to this horror as soon as possible, which is violating people’s rights: thousands and thousands of people — the great majority are Valencians — are suffering as a result of this situation.
A sustainable environment is not compatible with this model. I believe that Europe must respond firmly and quickly to these infringements of European directives.
To this end, amongst all of us we have produced a report, thanks to two years of exemplary work by the Committee on Petitions, which unanimously adopted this report. Now, certain people who voted in favour in the Committee on Petitions want to spoil this report irreversibly. I do not believe that that is a very honest way to behave. I believe that the environmental interests of the citizens are more important than the interests of bricks and mortar, which want to cover the entire Mediterranean coast."@en1
