lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the European Environment and Health Strategy will have an important role to play when the EU’s Sixth Environmental Action Programme is implemented in practice. It was the third priority of this environmental programme and at the time it was said that it was a very important component in the new challenges that lay ahead of us. In many countries the work done in environmental healthcare and environmental protection has already had a significant impact on achieving high standards of environmental health. We still nevertheless have work to do. It must also be one of the major goals in a Union of 25 countries to achieve and maintain standards of healthcare that are as high as possible. The prevention of disease and the general assurance of good health everywhere must play a key role when the strategy starts to be implemented in practice. For some reason this principle was not given due consideration by the committee when the matter was being discussed, but I hope that this issue of prevention will be given top priority in future debates. The first phase of the strategy will focus on factors that aim to have a beneficial effect on childhood diseases. This is a good basis and starting point for the aim of offering our citizens an environment in which levels of pollution are not enough to produce harmful effects on people’s health and the environment. To achieve this we naturally need investment in research, but also in training and education, and tangible levels of investment to ensure a better environment in the future."@en1
