"Mr President, it was very important progress we made in Gothenburg with the adoption of a combined strategy for sustainable development and the simultaneous incorporation of the environmental dimension into the Lisbon strategy. The Barcelona Summit next month will therefore be the first opportunity for taking stock of their implementation. I think that the challenges in the environmental sphere have not been dealt with fully enough either in the Spanish Presidency’s work programme or in the Commission’s discussion paper for the summit. By means of the proposals to be debated tomorrow here in Parliament, those of us in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy have tried to correct some of these deficiencies. Allow me just to mention a couple of examples. I believe it is important to get the Cardiff strategy on environmental integration tightened up so that we might have clear objectives and timetables established for implementing the strategy. It is also important that we arrange for systematic sustainability assessments to be carried out of all the EU’s political initiatives. In the area of agriculture and fisheries, we are all aware of the problems. It is hugely important that, in the new agriculture and fisheries reforms, we should see to it that the requirements in terms of the environment and sustainability are also considered in relation to enlargement. Finally, I hope that the European Council will demand of the Commission that work on a new chemicals policy for the EU be hurried along as much as possible. I hope that the Council will listen to Parliament’s eminently justified demands and recommendations."@en1
