lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I insist on congratulating Mr Manders as I think that he has performed his task admirably. Not only has he got through a pile of work and consulted broadly; he has also managed to achieve a balanced compromise in the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market despite the hundreds of amendments and great controversy. This debate makes it clear that the controversy is by no means resolved, but what Mr Manders is presenting is well-balanced, workable and reasonable, and it provides for updates within the next five years. It is important – more than important – to repair the riches of the environment and even more important to prevent damage. It goes without saying that a strict liability scheme can to a great extent contribute to this. Even though the legislation is not yet complete, this report is taking us a considerable step towards better protection, because let us not forget that in addition to the obligation to repair, we are also introducing objective liability. Objective liability – that means that neither blame nor negligence are relevant. We have naturally been used to this modus operandi in other sectors for some time, but it is and remains a far-reaching principle. I think that we must accept this far-reaching liability scheme, but at the same time I am convinced that the scheme must be legally secure, workable, efficient and reasonable, and therefore I am prepared to vote for the report as it has come from the vote in the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market."@en1
