"What you have just said reiterates my answer to the last question: we must implement the legislation in Europe first and then outside as well. However, you have asked me a different question, referring to the candidate countries too. I can assure you that the environmental chapter is one of the four most problematic chapters. When I am asked which chapters of enlargement are the most complex, I reply: agriculture, the environment, the Structural Funds and labour mobility issues. These are thus areas which require us to discuss the most intricate matters on a case by case basis. As regards environmental issues, we have even gone so far as deciding to make exceptions for certain EBRD measures and certain aid measures intended to relieve tragic situations outside the Union as well as within, authorising EIB investments in Saint Petersburg and Kaliningrad, precisely in an attempt to make environmental issues a top priority. I have to say that, in many cases, we will be forced to introduce, not necessarily moratoria, but transitional periods on these issues, considering the complexity of the investments and that the appalling underdevelopment of these countries will make it impossible to balance the situation very quickly."@en1
