"Mr President, these are true and important things which all the previous speakers have said, to the effect that the Baltic is a sick sea and that the EU has a major responsibility for this. Every necessary measure needs therefore to be taken in order to improve the situation. I think that Mrs Myller expressed a lot of points of view in her statement which we must make good use of. I think it is important for us to see what opportunities we have to renew the Baltic Commission’s work in conjunction with the water planning directive, which we are also discussing here. I have tried on a number of occasions to bring together these two areas of expertise on the basis that we should be looking at both at the same time and at the ways in which effective use might be made of the Helsinki Commission for this purpose. My hope is that it might be possible to bring together at least those who are now here in the Chamber in order to look into this. Annex 3 itself, relating to agriculture, does not perhaps inspire particularly great hope that it might entail anything new compared, for example, with the environmental strategies and programmes we already have. On the other hand, I hope that, next week in Helsinki, we can, as has been said, approve ambitious objectives for agriculture and the environment. As we think of renewing the work, it is also important that the Helsinki Commission’s efforts should be open to public scrutiny. We were therefore very disappointed to see that the results of the work carried out a good year ago on was not published because Sweden opposed any such publication. This was a small blemish on what was otherwise very sound work. I would add that the work on creating plant for receiving waste is extremely important. I believe that we must watch our step so that we do not jeopardise what we have here in this Convention and that we should not in any way be trying to achieve something else – a ‘best’ which would in actual fact be the ‘enemy of the good’."@en1
