lpv:translated text	"Mr President, every day it is drawn to our attention that the environment is changing. Last Sunday, I was listening to a Swedish radio programme which said that, in central Sweden, people would have to adjust to the fact that rainfall would increase by 50 per cent over the next few years. In one way or another, environmental questions are always the subject of public opinion nowadays. They must therefore feature in a better way in political work, too. I therefore want to congratulate Mrs Schörling on a very good report which proposes that environmental aspects must be taken into consideration at an early stage. In principle, environmental issues must permeate all activities, economic activity above all perhaps. When it comes to plans, building projects etc, it is of course important, as proposed in this report, to take account of environmental aspects as early as possible so that mistakes and increased costs can be avoided and the right solution found as soon as possible. I think it is extremely important and commendable that Mrs Schörling should propose that the scope of the directive should be broadened. It is a matter of urgency that economic activity should be included in the environmental assessment. It is transparently obvious to the EU, which invests a very large part of its budget in the agricultural sphere, in regional policy and in the structural funds, that these areas should be examined from an environmental point of view. We cannot go in and do this directly but should do so as quickly as possible whenever new plans come out. It is unreasonable to do what is at present done with EU funds and to support such activities within these sectors as are opposed from an environmental point of view in other contexts. We must try to create a system in which we think in environmental terms from the very beginning, even when it comes to economic problems. This is a major and important issue. I realise that large sections of this House do not agree with me, but my group and I completely support Mrs Schörling in this connection."@en1
