lpv:spoken text	". I wish to record my support for this report as a major step forward in facilitating the application of the 'polluter pays' principle. When environmental damage occurs, the first question always is: who is going to pay? This report makes it possible to apply the 'polluter pays' principle, a principle which must be used with great consistency and efficiency. The requirement for the Commission to present a report, within six years, will also give us the option to revisit this important area and properly assess its impact in practice. In an ideal world I would expect that citizens would be protected from any risk of environmental damage – and thankfully we are making progress in terms of some real preventative measures. But, unfortunately, far too much environmental damage still occurs and we must have tough measures to make sure those who cause such damage really do pay the cost. The measures included in this report will also ensure that polluters face similar requirements, and penalties, right across the European Union."@en1
