"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, Commissioner, we all know that it is no longer a time for lamenting the consequences of our mistakes. The world ecological crisis is hitting us full in the face and I will not list the problems arising within this context. We here are well aware, more than anyone else I am sure, how urgent it is to act and to make courageous and wide-ranging political choices. And what are we seeing, since this is what is important? That the Commission and the Member States use and abuse the rhetoric on sustainable development, sometimes cynically, to justify non-sustainable policies. I shall take the example of biodiversity, the common theme of our very survival, as you know very well, Mr Pröll. Since we have waged a real battle here to obtain budgets for biodiversity in the financial perspective, since we have said that the Natura 2000 programme would be taken into account in the Structural Funds, an argument used to justify not creating a new budget line, could you tell us – and this question is for the Commission, which is not listening – why biodiversity has not been included amongst the priorities of FEDER and why biodiversity has not been provided with any budgetary contribution? I would therefore really like to know who is sabotaging sustainable development in these institutions? And if there is sabotage, how much faith can we have in the strategy that you are presenting to us?"@en1
