".
The implementation of the Aarhus Convention has been discussed since its entry into force on 30 October 2001. Since most of the 35 parties to the Convention are European Union Member States, they have special responsibilities in establishing the mechanisms necessary to implement it.
It is just as important to guarantee specific provisions – like rights already provided for in the Convention – that improve regional and global public participation in other conventions and treaties that address environment-related issues.
Parliament and the Council have now adopted three legislative instruments to implement the Aarhus Convention, but difficulties remain. Thus although some aspects of the EP resolution are not very clear, in general we support it because we believe it is important to contribute to the creation of universal conditions for access to justice and to processes involving environmental issues.
We therefore hope that some positive steps will be made in the process in this third session of the Meeting of the Parties, to be held in Riga, Latvia, from 11 to 13 June 2008."@en1
