"Madam President, I would firstly like to thank you for your commitment and for your immediate reaction to the latest terrorist attack in our country, because it is terrible that, once again, an attack has been made on probably one of the most respected people in the Basque Country.
Secondly, Mr Prodi, yesterday we were voting in committee until twelve at night on the Sixth environmental action programme, which constitutes the European Union’s strategy on the environment for the next ten years. This is something which concerns me as a member of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy and as draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on Petitions.
The serious problem we are facing is not a lack of environmental legislation: the legislation on the environment is extraordinary. The problem is that it must be complied with, and I know that the European Commission has initiated legal proceedings against a number of countries. The process, however, is very long.
The question is obvious: what clear and concrete measures can be taken to oblige Member States to comply with Community Law, and how can the legal processes be speeded up so that this very Community Law is complied with?"@en1
