lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we have to understand that sustainable development is the basis of our future. If we forget that, the basis of our economy will also disappear. It is a misconception that economic development and environmental protection would be in conflict with one another. Our experience is quite the opposite. Ambitious environmental protection promotes economic development, and this applies to both countries and sectors of industry. Industry has called for the economic effects of environmental policy to be analysed. The problem is that when an analysis is carried out, the results are not believed. When, for example, analyses showed that the REACH chemicals legislation is economically viable, industry did not believe it. Similarly, when analyses show that cleaning up air pollution pays off, the car industry lobbies against it. We need ambitious targets, when, for example, it comes to saving energy. The least we could do, and the cheapest option, is that we should decide to end aid that is harmful to the environment. Aid for fossil energy in the EU amounts to more than EUR 24 billion a year, which is four times more than that for renewable energy."@en1
