".
We have approved the resolution on the results of the Johannesburg World Summit on sustainable development, since it demonstrates, and this is very positive, that the countries of Europe hold a largely common view of these issues, and that they display a high degree of sensitivity towards them. On this basis, the European Union and its Member States can take action and in the future become, let us hope, the leading players in terms of respect for the environment at world level.
Although the real results of Johannesburg are not sufficient to meet the needs (since the enormity of the world’s environmental problems can only be described as horrific), the Union was able to play the role of a catalyst there, for example in the launching of partnerships on water, decontamination and energy.
Amongst my particular reservations, I would like to highlight the following three:
the main one concerns the excessive role that the Union has allowed the WTO to play in reconciling trade rules with environmental rules;
secondly, the gradual dismantling of agricultural export subsidies is a desirable objective, but certainly not the dismantling of all internal aid;
finally, the Members of Parliament were not sufficiently involved in the preparatory coordination work."@en1
