"Fine words have been spoken at past European Council meetings about the integration of sustainable environmental policy into economic and social policy. Unfortunately, these fine words are not reflected in the plans which are being presented to us under the Spanish Presidency. . This is why I would call on the Council and Commission to take the Gothenburg environmental agreements seriously, and to translate these into concrete policy plans. This means in the first place that an unequivocal system of indicators must be put in place. Strong cohesion between indicators is very important in this respect for the development and assessment of a sustainable environmental policy. This system of indicators must obviously be integrated into the way in which the development of economic and social policy is measured. Secondly, the sustainability impact assessment, as promised by the Commission, is to be developed in the short term. In addition, I should like to ask you to give your attention to the liberalisation of the energy market. Opening up the energy market must not lead to the unwanted formation of monopolies. If there is to be a proper guarantee of the supply of energy, government intervention to ensure supplies must still be possible. Situations such as that in California can still be prevented by intervening in the Commission’s plans in good time. Mr President, not only words, but deeds are what we need, precisely in those areas where we have a responsible role as stewards of God’s creation."@en1
