lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to congratulate all those who have contributed to the programme, and also the Commission – I will explain why presently – and the Council, because in the final conciliation proceedings it clearly made every effort to accept and move closer to Parliament’s position. I would like to congratulate the Commission on the programme that it has drawn up. I think that it is evident that time has also taught the Commission to work along the right lines. An environmental action plan should contain broad guidelines, not annexes or specific measures, but rather it should be the main hook on which all future measures should hang. And in this respect, I think that the Commission has been capable of creating a viable programme that is full of common sense, which gives more authority to the Commission itself and to Europe than an ideal programme full of demands that is impossible to fulfil and implement, which would, therefore, have been unfair. I must also commend the choice of thematic strategies. I think that this is a qualitative step forward that heralds a new way of working, in which scientific values are going to be taken into account, a report is going to be drawn up on the status of the issue, the costs and capacity for implementation are going to be assessed and, moreover, there is going to be better knowledge of what is happening in Europe before commencing the measures. I think that these thematic strategies are a measure that should be extended to many areas. They will even enable us, for example, to know what the costs are, which is one of the things that there is a demand for: when a policy is defined, for its costs to be defined. I would also like to draw attention to the fact that the thematic strategies have to be applied to policy on climate change and emissions. We cannot just have strategies on motor fuels but not on heating. There is a risk, however, that applying the policies will damage the rural environment; a misunderstood and excessively broad taxation policy for certain products could cause huge damage to those who live far away from the territory and are caring for the countryside and the environment. I therefore call for a fair and balanced application."@en1
