lpv:translated text	". ( This regulation is truly a great step forward in the process of Community harmonisation. In a Europe that is in the process of unification, it is indispensable for the judicial fora always to use the same national law in similar cases, regardless of which national court is hearing the case. This measure does significantly increase the legal security of private individuals and business actors involved in cross-border disputes, and avoids ‘forum shopping’ – that is, the possibility for the plaintiffs to file their lawsuits in whichever Member State they like – while at the same time upholding the autonomy of national law. I consider it important that we were able to make insurance cover cases of cross-border traffic accidents, and to ensure that the court would take into account the actual circumstances of victims with regard to the payment of damages. Simply to choose the law of the country where the accident took place could have led to unsatisfactory situations on account of the vastly divergent amounts of damages awarded by the various national courts. The specific rule concerning unfair competition is very important for judges and lawyers. The same rule also limits to a large extent the practice of ‘forum shopping’. It is regrettable, but in the interests of a comprehensive compromise it is acceptable to leave out regulations concerning the infringement of personal rights – and in particular concerning the rules of libel in the press. It is our hope that as part of the examination of the regulation, we will succeed in resolving this question as well. It is important to define the notion of ‘environmental damage’, which is in harmony with other European Union legislation, and in particular with the Environmental Liability Directive. All in all, I find the final text a satisfactory and balanced compromise."@en1
