lpv:spoken text	"I am slightly disappointed with the response from the Commissioner. While I am fully in support of strong, effective and costed legislation to force improvements in environmental standards governing water quality and other matters, and of the proper policing of such legislation, I would also like to see this stick approach complemented by, as it were, a degree of carrot. In my own region – and particularly in Cornwall, which is an Objective 1 area – we have very many small and medium enterprises that will find it most difficult to comply with this legislation. I would like to see some financial incentives or rewards introduced to enable them to stop polluting water. If we merely have, if you like, the stick approach and no carrots, then I am afraid we are going to find it more difficult to reach these standards and, at the same time, increase suffering in some of the very small enterprises in the UK county hardest hit by job losses, when we are actually spending considerable sums of money trying to create jobs there."@en1
