". The new directive incorporates the relevant provisions of the Aarhus Convention, vastly improves on Directive 90/313 by limiting the derogations, cuts the deadline for replying to a request to a month and meets the demand for the information requested to be provided in the required format. It does, of course, take the use of modern information technologies into account but it also needs to take account of the fact that the number of requests will rise. There are, of course, problems as a result of a lack of organisation, inappropriate staffing of departments, especially at local level, and huge differences in the level of sophistication of information and communication systems. However, I should like to take this opportunity of pointing out that we MEPs receive numerous complaints about shortcomings and unfinished business in connection with ecological legislation and its transposition into national law. Take, for example, Directive 92/43 (otherwise known as NATURA), which states that the Member States should already have official catalogues of areas in need of protection, as a result of which the Commission is being inundated with a flood of questions concerning interventions in these areas. With all this unfinished business, it will be hard to apply the new legislation on “environmental information”. Nonetheless, I shall be voting in favour of the report because it helps in a small way to develop society’s environmental conscience, which we shall achieve by disseminating the provisions of the directive and the rights which derive from it."@en1
