"Mr President, I would like to take this opportunity of congratulating you on your election to the office of president; I am sure that you will meet all the expectations of European citizens and of those who elected you.
I shall be very brief.
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to start by expressing my warmest thanks to the parliamentary delegation involved in the compromise proceedings with the Council on 21 November 2006. In particular, I should like to thank and congratulate Mr Vidal-Quadras, who headed the parliamentary delegation and, of course, the rapporteur, Mrs Brepoels, whom I should like to praise and thank in particular for her exceptional contribution to the discussions throughout the negotiations.
We have secured a sound basis on which to build an integrated infrastructure for spatial information in Europe.
We need this infrastructure for the following reasons:
First of all, good legislative arrangements are based on good information. Good information means integrated analyses of the environmental problems we face, the reasons for them and the possible repercussions of various solutions.
These analyses depend on geographical data. At the moment, our policy making is hampered by the fact that these data are scattered over various databases which are difficult to access. In addition, different data storage rules are used, with the result that it is impossible to combine them with other data, which would facilitate policymaking.
I am delighted that we managed to overcome the final difficulties and reach a satisfactory result. The Commission approves the text of the compromise unreservedly and I would like to urge Parliament to accept the good result achieved by its negotiating team."@en1
