". I wholeheartedly support this report by Mrs Korhola. In an era where many citizens, from all sections of society, feel disenfranchised and marginalised, the call for public participation in respect of the drawing up of certain plans and programmes relating to the environment is certainly needed. This proposal, the first of its kind, could see everyday citizens involved in and having say about issues ranging from air quality to the protection of water. The report makes concrete and practical recommendations as to how public participation in this domain can be realised; for example, information must be made available within a reasonable time-frame. In addition, citizens would be entitled to submit their comments either orally or in writing. The report addresses many of the tricky issues that have faced decision-makers since the demonstrations at Seattle, Stockholm and Genoa: it could lead to greater transparency and accountability since citizens could act as both a check on decision-makers' complete autonomy and they could be more informed of the decisions which are being taken in their name."@en1
