"Mr President, I am delighted with the document adopted today on guaranteeing independent impact assessments (IAs). IAs are the basis of the legislative process. I feel that the effective independence of IAs must become a general principle, applied to all types of IAs, particularly environmental impact assessments. A guarantee of the implementation of this principle should also be contained in the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive, which is likely to be reviewed in the near future. I am pleased that the proposals in the Committee on the Environment, for which I provided amendments, concern environmental impact assessments, which really is crucially important. The European Commission must also play a more active role in defending the interests of the European Union and its Member States in cases where projects being undertaken by third countries may have an impact on the European Union or on one or several of its Member States. I believe that this document is a step towards ensuring security for us all."@en1
