lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Madam President-in-Office, Mr President of the Commission, many important issues have been squeezed onto the agenda at the Summit: enlargement, the Middle East, a possible new WTO round, and so forth. Remember that this summit was launched as the first ‘green’ summit. Thirty years after the UN Environmental Conference in Stockholm and ten years after the UN Earth Summit in Rio, the Heads of State and Government have a historic opportunity, an undertaking and a responsibility to adopt a credible strategy for sustainable development for the EU. However, this strategy must also form the basis for further global environmental responsibility and undertakings ahead of Rio+10 in South Africa. The Commission’s proposal is an important first step, I would say a minimum step. Much, much more is needed in order to achieve a real breakthrough for sustainable development. Major changes must be made in economic policy, transport and energy policy, chemicals policy, and agricultural and fisheries policy. As faith in the EU fades, as was shown in Ireland’s rejection of the Treaty of Nice, a fundamental debate is required on the future of Europe, a debate without preconditions in which European civil society can take part. The summit must stake out such a path. The summit not leading to a credible result on sustainable development would be another setback. There must be a good result. It is not just about us but about future generations. I wish the summit well and hope for a successful, ‘green’ outcome."@en1
