lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ever since the 70s, we, in the European Parliament, have been in the habit of using environmental action programmes to give direction to environmental policy. This was very relevant in those days, for we had to start more or less from scratch. A great deal was subsequently achieved, but I am now increasingly feeling uncomfortable. The evaluation of the Fifth EAP has clearly shown that we are up a blind alley. Partly because many Member States have failed to implement environmental legislation, the objectives of the Fifth EAP have not been achieved. Since we are unable to draft a programme that adds value to what we are already doing in the environmental sphere, I wonder whether we should continue drafting environmental action programmes. I will for this reason support Mr Maaten’s amendment to reject the Council’s common position. This is no reflection on the rapporteur, Mrs Myller, or the Commissioner, Mrs Wallström, but is about the Council’s role. Let us now focus on the actual implementation of the Fifth EAP. What will matter most are the implementation of, and compliance with, current environmental legislation, especially in the light of enlargement."@en1
