lpv:translated text	". I welcome the outcome of the conciliation process, which I believe to be extremely satisfactory. This proposal is of considerable importance, not only for the average citizen in the street but also for the Community’s environmental policy, because it provides for public participation in the drawing up of certain plans and programmes for the environment. At the same time it attempts to harmonise Community legislation, thereby representing a significant step towards the European Union’s ratification of the Aarhus Convention. The authorities are thereby instructed to inform the public on the decisions they have taken and of the reasons and considerations that have led them to take these decisions. The authorities are also to be informed on the processes of public participation and how to promote environmental awareness amongst the public, thereby providing incentives for the citizens actively to participate in solving environmental problems. Therefore, free access, transparency and the dissemination of information about the environment will become a fundamental right of any citizen who is interested in the quality of the area in which he or she lives and works. As a matter of fact, some recent disasters have clearly shown that the citizens have an increasing right to manage their risks, to speak out and to request and demand commitments to safeguard their interests in areas such as the environment and health."@en1
