lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I think that tomorrow’s vote is so important that I should like to ask the Commissioner to clarify two points so that we know what we are voting on tomorrow. Commissioner, my first question is this: have I understood you correctly, can you promise that you are making provision for an environmental liability with compulsory insurance, yes or no? I just want a yes or no. Or is it correct that you only agree to liability as set out in the White Paper, i.e. just for Natura 2000 areas and with no compulsory insurance. In plain text, this means that if damage occurs and the person responsible cannot be held liable, the general public, i.e. the taxpayer will pay for it. Can you give Parliament a guarantee – and I should like a yes or no – that compulsory insurance is contained in a horizontal directive? My second point is this: unfortunately, you did not go into proposed Amendment No 42. Can you confirm that there is no EU legislation for GMOs in contained use? You know that the contained use directive excludes this and, at the same time, Article 2 (4) of the common position makes no provision for regulations on GMOs for contained use. There is a gap in the legislation here and I think that this is very important for tomorrow’ vote. For example, transgenetic fish in contained use would not be covered by the two directives. I should like a clear answer on this."@en1
