". – On behalf of the Commission, I wish to congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Wijkman, and the members of the conciliation delegation on having put together a compromise package which the Council has already formally adopted.
The Commission supports the proposed regulation currently before you. It considers it a valuable instrument for carrying out strategic and pilot activities in the field of the environment. It is, of course, a supplementary instrument to the others at the disposal of the Commission.
Fortunately, our activities in the field of environment and development are not limited to actions funded under this regulation. We are mainstreaming the environment in everything we do. Hence, we intend to use it in a strategic fashion focusing, in particular, on support for the various international environmental conventions.
Plans to finance projects which will meet the objectives of the regulation are already advanced. Once it has been formally adopted and funds made available we will proceed to finalise agreements for their implementation. However, time will be against us since we are fast approaching the end of the financial year.
Once more, I wish to thank Parliament for their work in ensuring the passage of this regulation and the interest that many Members have shown. I am confident that the regulation will provide us with a useful tool for ensuring that the environmental dimension is fully taken into account in our development cooperation."@en1
