lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I welcome the Commission proposal. POPs are substances that put the public and the environment at risk, and so we should treat them with care. With regard to the legal basis, I share the rapporteur's view that we should opt for Article 175 on its own. This is what we did in the past, in respect of similar treaties such as those of Rotterdam and Basle, and so we should be consistent in this. The recommendation by the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market also supports the choice of Article 175. I am, in fact, curious to see whether the Commission will once again go to the Court of Justice, as happened, to everyone's surprise, with the Treaty of Rotterdam. Can Commissioner Monti shed light on this? In addition, the standards of concentration in Annex IV should be laid down as soon as possible. An empty annex is of no interest to us. I would therefore ask the Commission to set to work in this matter. All things considered, I will be backing the compromise package. It successfully addresses my remaining objections to the Commission proposal. Finally, I should like to thank the rapporteur, Mrs Frahm, for the work that she has done. It was a difficult issue, and one that she has brought to a successful conclusion, in close cooperation with the shadow rapporteurs."@en1
