lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I would like to begin by congratulating the Commission on its proposals and also the rapporteurs on having once again demonstrated their major commitment to the environment. Of course people want ever cleaner air and a high level of protection. The very same people say, however – and this has been shown in many surveys – that they are not prepared to foot the bill for such a level of protection, and that means that we have to take a balanced view when adopting measures. I am surprised at the amount of space that the report devotes to agriculture. I sincerely believe that it is far too little for a sector that is increasingly beleaguered and which, moreover, fulfils a number of functions that have a positive effect on the environment and social cohesion. In relation to the maritime transport sector, I agree with the aim of achieving a level playing field, but I also believe it is important to work within the International Maritime Organisation to designate the new sulphur emission control areas; otherwise, we shall drive part of the European fleet to register in non-EU countries where controls are virtually non-existent. I should also have liked to see rather more ambitious measures regarding vehicles, the prime causes of pollution in cities and of dependence on foreign sources of energy. I should like to hear the Commission’s opinion on this, because I believe that cleaner vehicles would dramatically improve air quality in cities. Lastly, it is important to continue implementing and developing the directive on the integrated prevention and control of pollution. This directive will allow industries to continue innovating and to control their emissions more effectively, without forcing any plant closures. To conclude, I would ask the Commission to use flexibility and common sense when implementing all these proposals that have been put to us today."@en1
