".
We are in the process of drafting the proposal for a directive, presented in January 2002, on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage, which is particularly important for ensuring better environmental protection and for combating all types of pollution, setting out new principles and proposing new obligations, specifically for companies.
This is proving to be a far from straightforward process, however, particularly in the European Parliament, where the pressure exerted by the various economic interests has made itself felt, and this is why it was the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market and not the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy that negotiated this directive. The Council common position rejected some of the European Parliament’s proposals, only some of which have now been accepted at second reading. The results of the vote reveal some contradictions and weaknesses in Parliament’s final position, which rejected most of my group’s proposals, although most of the negative proposals from the Commission were also rejected.
We will see what the final outcome is, but everything suggests that it will fall short of what is needed."@en1
