"Madam President, the legislation that applies to the European Union as a whole needs to be based on an analysis of where we are, which of the measures that have already been taken have been effective, and what new measures are needed for us to achieve the targets that have been jointly set. This sort of approach is vital in environmental policy in order that we can focus on those matters that require swifter attention than any of the others.
The European Commission promised to put forward a proposal to revise the Sixth Environment Action Programme this year. We have not received one. It is not included in next year’s Action Plan either. It would nevertheless be a concrete instrument for specifically evaluating where we are and what should be done in the future.
The Commission says that it intends to examine the Environmental Technologies Action Plan next year. That is good. We also, however, need to look at areas other than developments in energy technology. One challenge we face is legislation on chemicals. Harmful chemicals need to be replaced with new, safe ones, and for that we need technology. We need technology to find solutions to air quality. We need new technology for material efficiency, and in this way we will also be able to redeem our promise of improved competitiveness."@en1
