lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, it is now that we have the opportunity to vote in favour of a proposal that will put a stop to a situation in which those who cause pollution are able to evade their responsibility. I believe that both politicians and ordinary people are genuinely amazed that it has been possible for this situation to go on for so long and are demanding that it now be brought to an end. At the same time, we must also be consistent and not allow unduly major exemptions in connection, for example, with genetically modified organisms, nuclear power and marine transport. If we want to be consistent, we must also vote in favour of Amendment No 93 and the following amendments by the group of the Party of European Socialists, the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left and progressive people from other groups. As many others have already pointed out, Amendment No 107 is very important for, if the polluter pays principle really is to work in practice, there must be financial guarantees, even if a company goes bankrupt. There is therefore also a need for an insurance system to be developed. It is also very important for Article 175 to form the legal basis so that, as the previous speaker too pointed out, the existing systems are not undermined."@en1
