".
The commitment shown by the EU to addressing environmental issues is, broadly speaking, worthy of our support. It is our responsibility to try to leave a habitable world for future generations; for this reason, the abuse of resources as though there were no tomorrow is disgraceful. Nevertheless, one must distinguish between policies to protect the environment and policies that bring the environment to the centre of the stage as though it were the only issue that existed. There are other key areas that we must not overlook, such as people, economic needs and development needs.
In this context, I broadly share the concerns that Parliament has expressed both in committee and in plenary debate, especially given that the common agreement is a reasonable one. We protect the environment because we put people first. That should be the principle guiding what we do."@en1
