lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the forthcoming summit is doubly interesting from the point of view of sustainable development. On the agenda are the mid-term review of the Lisbon strategy and the annual audit of the sustainable development programme. These two go together. Sustainable growth and competitiveness cannot be achieved without the highest possible levels of environmental and social protection. The mid-term review of the sustainable development programme undertaken this year must see the creation of an ambitious strategy that reaches far into the future. It should be directly linked to the Lisbon strategy and it should also serve to guide different policy areas within the European Union. The spirit of Cardiff needs to be revived and we should examine the sustainability of the European Union’s various policies more closely, confronting those factors that are leading in the direction of unsustainable development. Special attention needs to be paid to energy production, transport, land use and agriculture. New, more ambitious steps have to be taken to prevent climate change. We must look ahead to the time after the Kyoto Protocol and achieve targets for the year 2020 that we can keep to and monitor. We also have to put a price tag on sustainable development. We have to estimate how much doing absolutely nothing will cost. Now of course all attention is focused on what environmental protection measures will cost. The European Union must continue to be the organisation that shows the way globally in environmental policy. Ambitious legislation linked to the right means of financial control is also a good combination for creating demand for the new environmental technology."@en1
