lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I feel less optimistic than those who have spoken so far, because I believe that the document that has been produced is essentially a document full of statements, which includes many existing clichés, many arguments that we have all heard and which are leading to an increasingly weak and less respected notion of sustainable development. Why do I say this? Because I believe that the structure in the methodology – and, as well as a politician, I am speaking as an academic – is based on an error: it is based on repeating the old clichés and on not properly analysing today’s sustainable development problems. Firstly, it does not make it clear whether the document has European or world ambitions. It does not make that clear. Secondly, it conforms to Gothenburg, but not to Johannesburg. Furthermore, it ignores problems such as the relationship between the economy and sustainable development. Today, economic activities cannot be separated from sustainability, and if we want to link it to Lisbon, even less so: in other words, there can be no employment, there can be no possibility of development for the under-developed countries, unless we take into account what kind of economy is appropriate. Certain economic activities are necessary in order to maintain biodiversity. Have we considered what economic activities are required or the role agriculture plays in maintaining animals? Have we taken account of the fact that, if we want to talk about climate change and development in Africa, we must talk about nuclear energy in order to resolve the problem of obtaining water through desalination and obtaining energy that does not pollute? If we talk about climate change, we must talk about nuclear energy as well, as a replacement for 30 or 40% of what is produced. In other words, structurally, the document is not integrated. It does not refer to the economy and it completely ignores industry. Furthermore, I do not believe that the issue of population is sufficiently dealt with. The emigrations we have from North to South in Europe are creating stress in terms of sustainable development, just like the African emigrations. That is something we must deal with, ladies and gentlemen, on the basis of sustainable development."@en1
