"This report refers to the environmental issues, but it cannot and could not have referred only to environmental issues.
First of all, I would like to emphasize that we shall support this project that may improve Europe’s energy supply. For this reason, I consider it deplorable that the European Union has not developed a common energy policy yet.
The European Union requires common environmental standards and not only when speaking about projects of the Nordstream size. There are similar projects planned in other parts of Europe and these standards to be agreed should be implemented everywhere.
Nordstream will be an important precedent and we should make sure that we are going in the right direction. This report is the European Parliament’s answer to a petition with more than thirty thousand signatures and we have no right to ignore the European citizens’ opinion.
The history of human development, especially in the industrial era, has left true environmental catastrophes behind. We, the European Parliament, in the Europe of 2008, are not allowed to repeat this history."@en1
