lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this annual report is primarily intended to describe the progress that has been made. This year’s report is essentially the same as last year’s and also as the report from 2008. Of course, this has nothing to do with Mr Meyer. I have a very high opinion of him and I would like to thank him for this report. It is simply that the facts do not allow any other picture to be presented. The subjects are the same and the Member States involved are the same. For years, a large proportion of the petitions submitted to the European Parliament have concerned shortcomings in the implementation of environmental directives. Perhaps it is time to review the type of legislation in this area and to investigate a variety of options, in order to finally begin reducing the number of breaches of EU law. Do we need additional guidelines from the Commission on implementing the legislation or do we need closer monitoring? In our work in the committee, we rely on active cooperation with the Commission and the Council in the form of statements, but the Council is often conspicuous by its absence from these committee meetings. We definitely need to revise the way we work. If the debates in the committee are not followed by action, then our work will be delayed or even undermined. It may be that the reduction in the number of newly submitted petitions is the right thing to happen. However, this reduction could also mean that the citizens no longer regard the right of petition at a European Union level as a useful option. I support the calls made in this report without reservations."@en1
