lpv:translated text	". I have voted in favour of this report, which I believe is balanced and promotes a greater degree of environmental protection. I welcome in particular its concern for the ‘applicability’ of the mechanisms provided for. In fact, since the Treaty of Maastricht, the Union has been committed to including environmental protection in all its policies. In order genuinely to protect the environment and safeguard biodiversity, we must have the cooperation of all economic actors because, as the report also concludes, today ‘the sources of environmental pollution are no longer concentrated in industrial facilities but lie in manifold economic activities and consumer behaviour’, which means that a new, more creative approach is required, in order to achieve the targets for a high degree of environmental protection, targets which are as ambitious as they are crucial. The European Commission has moved in this direction, with its proposal, as has the rapporteur, with his suggestions. The mechanisms for self-regulation amongst operators and for co-regulation, in some kind of coordination with the public authorities are, of course, avenues worth exploring. Furthermore, setting objectives and practical targets and trying out a more simplified and operational legislative framework that is immediately understandable to all actors involved, will certainly lead to greater awareness and to more effective environmental protection."@en1
