lpv:translated text	"Mr President, two-thirds of the population of my country, Hungary, live in cities. They are the ones who are most exposed to environmental damage caused by industry and transport. This in itself is sufficient reason for us to make special efforts to improve the urban environment. The situation in Budapest is particularly bad, and therefore I considered it important to support this report, although it contains several objectionable elements. Mr Hegyi expects EU standards in quite a few areas which fall exclusively within the sphere of competence of the Member States or of local authorities. I understand his reasons since, like me, he lives in Budapest, where nothing has been done in recent years to improve the quality of the environment. EU requirements can indeed serve as important incentives, and their observance needs to be monitored strictly. We cannot, however, expect the Union to solve the environmental problems of European cities with standards outlining detailed, specific programmes. This is the task of territorial local authorities, and Strasbourg or Brussels cannot compensate for their failures."@en1
