lpv:translated text	"The decision on constructing the Baltic gas pipeline is a deal between two players: Russia and Germany. It should be a matter for all the states that surround the Baltic. Germany and Russia are not the only states on the Baltic. A common decision on this matter is right as the Baltic gas pipeline will have a negative environmental impact on the Baltic. The environmental impact of the Baltic gas pipeline must be investigated and the necessary measures must be taken. A commitment by Russia to comply with the Espoo Convention should be laid down as a condition for permission to build. The condition of the Baltic environment can only be improved if Russia is committed to and interested in it. Now we have a chance to make Russia commit. Russia’s economic welfare depends on energy exports. On the other hand, the EU depends on Russia’s energy. Fair, strategic cooperation between the EU and Russia that respects the environment is necessary. There has been much criticism of the Kremlin in this Chamber. However, there always need to be two parties to an agreement. Now is the time for the EU to look at itself. There are good reasons for changing EU cooperation and concern about the condition of the Baltic into action!"@en1
