"I voted for this resolution because I consider the issue of preventing man-made disasters to be extremely important. It is absolutely essential to increase the financing of programmes aimed at the conservation of natural resources in Europe. Woods, lakes, rivers – they have all become business assets. We must draw up a common EU framework in addition to this resolution, and strictly rein in this indifferent consumer attitude towards natural resources.
I have encountered such an attitude in my homeland, Latgale, where woodland is being barbarously destroyed. The Latvian Government is ‘torpedoing’ EU projects aimed at conserving lakes and rivers. Latvian legislation permits the elimination of rare species of fish, and no one bears responsibility for this. I voted ‘for’, in the hope that this signal from the EU will reach the Latvian Government."@en1
