"Mr President, in the course of this debate, some speakers from the GUE/NGL and Verts/ALE Groups used some intemperate language in relation to Mr Sacconi, members of the PSE Group and others. It obliges me to put some political realities to them. Firstly, the Sacconi package is better than the current regulatory system that we have in place. It is better than the Council’s common position. If they succeed in defeating it by amending it and the possibility that we end up back at square one, then effectively that puts the GUE/NGL and Verts/ALE Groups in the pockets of some of the dirtiest and most backward chemical industries in Europe. We want to make progress in this Parliament, not go backwards. The strength of Europe and of this Parliament is in identifying the threads of consensus on an issue. I think that Mr Sacconi, his staff and all the other Members of this Parliament who have participated in this process have successfully identified the thread of consensus and built on it and we have made progress in regulating the chemical industry in Europe. We do not all have everything we would like; but as long as there are divergent views on how we can achieve a clean, healthy environment in Europe, on how we can control these things, we will have the democratic process to help us to find a solution. I heartily recommend the Sacconi package and congratulate him and all associated with it."@en1
