lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would also like to congratulate the rapporteur on producing a result that is good for Parliament. I also think it very important that the whole basis for working has been the notion that first we have to endorse current legislation and then these voluntary agreements can be made in addition. In fact, working on this basis we could imagine too that in the future new agreements could be made with companies. We must clearly define those areas in which we should try to achieve important goals as far as the environment is concerned faster and perhaps more effectively, within the framework of legislation. This proposal is now extending the system that has been in force since 1993 by including various organisations having environmental impacts. We are no longer just speaking about industrial companies, which is good. Pro-active participation in matters of the environment is important not only for the environment but also for businesses themselves. The present-day consumer is laying ever greater emphasis on the environmental impact of products when they make spending decisions. It has been quite rightly said that for this system to be implemented effectively it will take commitment on the part of staff to common values. This in turn will require employees to be properly informed, but they must also be given the opportunity to make their own contribution to the development of environmentally friendly action. It is inevitable that joining an eco-management scheme will require a commitment to making regular environment-related declarations and reports, substantiated by independent experts, and to making them public."@en1
