"I am sure you are familiar with this Latin fable, Mr President: ‘A Wolf was drinking at a spring on a hillside. On looking up he saw a Lamb just beginning to drink lower down …’ Why have I quoted this Latin fable? Because I consider it quite right that we should not throw hazardous substances into rivers. In the same way that the water flowed downstream from the wolf to the lamb, the European rivers flow from faraway places into the Mediterranean Sea and into our other seas. Therefore, It is right, as this report requests, to involve the candidate countries so that they do not pollute upstream the springs and the rivers crossing Europe."@en1
