"Mr President, this report has been generated by a petition from 30 000 European citizens. The Committee on Petitions has already played an invaluable role by putting this issue on the European agenda. It is vital for the confidence of citizens that Europe can in fact engage with them on their behalf. It is therefore of the utmost importance that Europe continues to be seen to be engaged with the environmental impact of this proposal, and a heavy burden therefore falls on the shoulders of Commissioner Dimas.
We need to demonstrate that we are capable of safeguarding citizens’ health and the sustainability of our environment. The absolute need to develop energy resources, and the buying-in of energy resources, has to be based on principles of sustainability. My group’s amendments to this report are intended to focus, or rather re-focus, the report on these principles. I appeal to Parliament to support them.
An EIA is necessary and obligatory as Commissioner Dimas has pointed out, if permissions are to be granted legally. How we manage this issue will set the scene for the future, and we must get the balance right."@en1
