lpv:translated text	". Mr President, for the 28th time the Commission is evaluating the current application of EU law. From the perspective of the Committee on Petitions, I would like to draw attention to the important function that the petition procedure has in this task. As a kind of link between the European Union and its citizens, we experience at first hand where there are problems relating to compliance with EU law. It is therefore important that the Commission informs the Committee on Petitions, as well as individual citizens, comprehensively about infringement proceedings that are already in progress and those that are initiated on the basis of petitions. There is another point that I consider to be very important, however. Most petitions relate to the environment and concern non-compliance with EU law in this area. It is necessary in such instances for the Commission, as guardian of the Treaties, to intervene at an early stage, before irreparable damage is caused due to EU regulations being disregarded. In environmental matters in particular this is often the case and it is not sufficient for the Commission to assume in the course of the proceedings that the Member State will comply with the applicable laws. By the end of the proceedings we will be wiser, but then it will be a case of shutting the gate after the horse has bolted. Member States should already be subject to supervision when EU law is being transposed and action should be taken at an early stage if problems come to light. This, however, also involves the Commission being granted the right to check directly at a local level whether EU legislation is being transposed and observed correctly. I realise these are undoubtedly very ambitious aims, but I am sure that the 29th annual report will show whether we have made any progress with them. With this in mind, I wish us all great success in the work we will carry out together!"@en1
