". Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to begin by thanking Mrs Brepoels for her work and also express my gratitude in view of the efforts to reach a compromise with the Council at this second reading. I have absolutely no doubt about the usefulness of this proposal as a fundamental tool for drawing up, applying, monitoring and evaluating environmental policies at all levels and policies or activities which directly or indirectly affect the environment. Furthermore, I believe that it is appropriate to base this Community infrastructure on the spatial data infrastructures established and managed by the Member States, in full application of the principle of subsidiarity, particularly when the Member States have several levels of public administration – as is often the case. There is no question that the exchange of data amongst public authorities represents the key added value of INSPIRE. That must be the principle governing the provisions of Article 17. In any event, I would like to stress that, in the event that in the end costs are involved, those costs should be reasonable. I also believe that it is crucial that it has been designed as an instrument for providing public information. In this regard, we hope that INSPIRE complements public sector information and the Directives on access to environmental information adopted in application of the Aarhus Convention, which we approved recently, and that it deal with a series of issues not provided for in those Directives, such as the sharing of data amongst public authorities and issues of interoperability. This instrument must serve to exploit as far as possible the benefits and possibilities that the globalisation of data and services offers to governments, to private enterprise, to universities, to society as a whole and, most importantly, to the citizens. I believe that it is important because it brings us up to date with something that is already common as a result of the Internet and the information that it provides. I therefore hope that this Directive will be promoted most firmly by all sectors and levels of administration and that, in conciliation, we can finally achieve a good instrument that can fulfil all of these objectives."@en1
