lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as far back as a few months ago, we debated an absolutely excellent report by Mrs Korhola concerning access by the general public to environmental information. This time, we are debating public participation in drawing up environmental plans and programmes. What these reports have in common is that the Commission’s proposals are based on what is known as the Aarhus Convention. According to Article 8 of this Convention, every country must endeavour to promote a situation in which, at a time when it is still possible to influence the decisions, the general public is given an effective opportunity to participate in the public authorities’ work on such rules. According to Article 9 of the same Convention – and this is something I want to emphasise – each country undertakes, within the framework of its own national legislation, to give the public concerned the opportunity, through the courts, to have the validity of the authorities’ decisions tested. For me as a liberal, it is obvious that the decisions made and the proposals drafted by the public authorities must, as far as possible, be made accessible to anyone interested and affected. Anything else would be unthinkable in a democracy."@en1
