"Mr President, I have a speech here, but I must admit that Mrs Jackson has rather distracted me into thinking about how things get better and better after you reach a certain age. Clearly Mrs Jackson has reached that certain age and she now thinks everything in the past better than it is now.
Like Mrs Jackson, I also wish to thank the rapporteur for her good work. This document is worth voting for, but it would be more worthwhile voting for if it contained a few more of Parliament's amendments.
In the field of chemicals policy, the field of preserving biodiversity, climate change, transport and the protection of air and water quality, there are clear and worthwhile proposals that could be built upon in the conciliation process.
In the field of fiscal policy, there are some serious and sensible suggestions in Parliament's amendments. However, the setting at the moment of any kind of European-wide environmental taxes must be better thought out. At the moment it is like taking a sledgehammer to crack a whole series of very different nuts, with what I would guess would be very limited success.
We must now as a Parliament unite and tomorrow morning take the next step into conciliation, where we are going to have to work together with a view to achieving a common viewpoint to the way in which we are going to protect the environment of our common European home and preserve it for future generations. I look forward to taking that step tomorrow morning and to the Christian Democrats helping us to do so."@en1
