"I voted in favour of this report as I generally support its outlines and the three main priorities of the 7th Environment Action Programme:
implementation and strengthening of environmental legislation
integration of environmental objectives into all sectoral policies
international dimension of environment protection.
The European institutions must put everything in place to strengthen environmental legislation and integrate environment protection into other EU policies.
I abstained on paragraph 65 of the report which calls for transferring income tax to protecting resources and the fight against pollution. Tax reform must be comprehensive if it is to be effective. As it is described here, such a transfer could only maintain the current levels of taxation. There is again still more to be done if we are to turn fine words into action."@en1
