lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner Dimas, ladies and gentlemen, I should first of all like to say a word of thanks to Mrs Klaß for the work she has done in expertly piloting this dossier through second reading. The fact that her report has received unanimous approval in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety demonstrates that she has taken a line with which many can identify. We cannot do other than conclude that the common position adopted by the Council last year is out of synch with the line this Parliament took at first reading. Particularly with regard to the definition of decline, this common position could do with some further sharpening-up. Fortunately, tomorrow, we will be adopting many amendments which will considerably improve the common position. One that springs to mind is Amendment 30, which concerns the harmonisation of measuring methods. We know that certain Member States achieve excellent results because they over-adjust their measurements. Amendment 30 will in any event mean that those methods are monitored, which is a welcome development. In the Netherlands too, groundwater is used for extracting drinking water. It is also a back-up supply for future generations. Since pollution destroys resources, it must be avoided at all costs. I should like to ask for your support for Amendment 44, which was tabled by my group colleague, Mr Bonde. An identical amendment was accepted in respect of the fluorine gas directive, and eventually ended up being incorporated into it. Should you feel that this amendment goes too far, I would urge you to support Amendment 37 in any case. I am still left with a question for Commissioner Dimas. He claimed that the objectives of the nitrate directive and this groundwater directive are the same. My question is then whether it would be necessary for this nitrate directive to continue to exist alongside this groundwater directive in future. I look forward to his response."@en1
