lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioners, if we are critical of the results of the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development, it is because we were in fact expecting much more. We are aware of the critical situation of the planet, the deterioration, the pollution, the lack of natural resources, and the extreme poverty of a large part of the population which means that these people live and die in inhuman conditions, and are forced to emigrate to other parts of the world where these conditions do not exist. And, although it is true that there have been agreements, it is also true that it has not been possible to conclude many other agreements. Mrs Wallström, you said it was time to turn our words into actions, and the Secretary-General of the United Nations also said this, using other words, but just as forcefully. This, however, was not possible and despite the good will of the European institutions, the problem of reaching the agreements that were supposed to have been the minimum basis for solving the serious problems we have in this world was not solved. I believe that the Commissioner is right to say that frustration should not mean that we politicians stop making ambitious proposals. Frustration should make us far more ambitious and, even if only by means of voluntary agreements, we in the European institutions, the Commission, the Council and Parliament, must move forward with all these proposals – many more than those on the table – because, in fact, the maintenance of living conditions in the world might depend on the example we set here in the European Union, where we do have that political will. If we – each and every country – show this will and this commitment to agreements, programmes, dates – not with words but with actions – the agreements that are currently still voluntary could be extended to other countries and in ten years European good practice could mean that in future Johannesburg will not be what it is today."@en1
