".
Mr President, ladies and gentleman, Commissioner, I would like firstly to express my satisfaction with the agreement reached. The most important thing at the moment is for this legislation to be applied as soon as possible. In that way we will increase our objective of transparency in the environmental measures adopted at Community level.
I would like to highlight certain positive aspects, such as the work carried out by the trialogue, with the participation of the Commission, the Austrian Presidency and the group of MEPs who took part in it. I believe that through all of this work we are improving access to information relating to issues affecting the environment, making the exceptions, and their interpretation, more restrictive.
I would also like to stress, in relation to public participation in the adoption of decisions, that it is very important that that participation has been increased in the preparation, modification and revision of the environmental plans and programmes funded by the European Investment Bank.
It is also an achievement for the citizens that, when adopting decisions on environmental plans or programmes, the relevant Community institution or body must inform, and not just make reasonable efforts – as the text previously said – to inform, the public in relation to all decisions, since in that way we will increase the transparency of this kind of process.
With regard to access to information, perhaps the most important thing is the agreement reached on the basis of Regulation 1049. Since this Regulation is in force and relates to public access to documents held by the institutions of the European Community, there will be a system for access to all kinds of information held by the institutions and bodies of the European Union.
Finally, as well as repeating that I hope this agreement will be approved tomorrow and be implemented as soon as possible, I hope that the Community institutions and bodies will recognise that its effective application will benefit everybody and that they will act on that basis. This is a legal tool that will in many cases help us to preserve the environment."@en1
