lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left supports all the amendments by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety to this regulation on the EU’s application of the Århus Convention. Two points are of special importance to us. Firstly, it is crucial that the decision be comprehensive in scope so that projects funded by the European Union are also covered by the regulations. The European Investment Bank too needs to be covered by the rules. Much criticism has been directed over the years at the EIB’s handling of environmental issues, its failure to take due account of the environment and its considerable lack of transparency. Secondly, we want environmental organisations to be given a genuine right to take legal proceedings when the environmental rules are not observed. We are therefore opposed to any restriction on this right, for example that proposed by the rapporteur in Amendments 28 to 30. Such a restriction would in practice mean that many of the most important national environmental movements would not have the opportunity to take legal proceedings, and that is unacceptable to us."@en1
