lpv:spoken text	". This proposal intends to ensure that opportunities are given for public participation at an early and decisive stage of environmental decision making. This includes public participation and the drawing up of certain plans and programmes, greater participation in the procedure concerning the implementation of environmental impact assessment statements as well as in the putting in place of integrated pollution prevention and control measures. Annex 1 of the Directive lists the instruments in relation to which the public for the first time are be given the opportunity to participate in the drawing up of plans and programmes. Such provisions are to be inserted in the directives on waste, the protection of waters against nitrate pollution as well as being included in the hazardous waste, copper packaging, air quality and landfill of waste directives. The main thrust of this directive is to ensure that information must be made available to the public within a reasonable timeframe. The public must be given the opportunity to express comments and opinions before decisions are made. It is important that the citizens of Europe are involved in decisions that are taken at a European Union level. The European Union and national governments support the principle of subsidiarity which guarantees that decision-making incorporates a local input at every opportunity. We are also all aware of the environmental proofing of EU regulations and directives which is now constantly taking place. I support progress. I support economic development. We must ensure that there is a balance between the protection of our environment and economic progress at all times. This directive which is before us is a balanced piece of legislation which I am sure will be supported by all Members of the House."@en1
