lpv:spoken text	"May I congratulate the rapporteur on this important report – a crucial element of which is the definition of participation, ensuring that people can influence plans and programmes at different stages of the process and receive proper feedback so that they know that the issues they have raised have been dealt with seriously. It is essential that consultation is not restricted in a way that in practice would make it meaningless – in other words, that authorities themselves could define the people who would be affected and they would be the only ones consulted. I have a case in Swansea in my own constituency where a local authority is building an incinerator on the border of two counties and has consulted its own constituents, but not the people of the other county who live closer to it and who will be more affected and are now protesting vigorously against the plans. This legislation could prevent that kind of situation arising. Just as important it gives the public access to a review procedure, and so I ask for support for the amendments of my group which seek to strengthen the report in line with the Aarhus Convention."@en1
