lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I believe the debate has brought up the concerns shared by the members of the Committee on Petitions. Firstly, we should like to repeat for the second time that we need to be more stringent about speeding up the time taken to process petitions which may involve damage to the European Union’s biodiversity. Quite often, so much time is spent between the opening of the proceedings, transfer to the Commission, the Commission issuing a request for information to the Member State, the Member State responding, and so on, that in the case of public – or private – works that are potentially hazardous to biodiversity, by the time a letter of notice is sent or a court takes action, the damage is already done and irreparable. For the second time, we are making this urgent call for greater stringency on the Member States and for much greater celerity in the actions of Parliament, the European Commission and the Member States. Secondly, this committee believes it is in the best position to take on the task of monitoring the citizens’ initiative. This is indeed an important instrument, as it effectively allows the members of the European public to submit legislation petitions to this House. We also wish to voice a concern that has emerged in relation to the subject of property, and which has not been specified in the report because we have chosen not to give an exhaustive account of all activities, except for the application of the Charter of Fundamental Rights: we believe that the lack of legal instruments must be resolved, and to achieve this we believe we need to hold a debate, which is already open before us, to ensure that the necessary legal instruments are provided and applied in all the Member States across the European Union. I shall finish as I began, by thanking all my colleagues for their help and acknowledging once again all the secretariat’s hard work. I therefore hope that we will be able to conclude this report for 2010 in tomorrow’s vote, and that we will not need to repeat once again in 2011 the need to expedite the processing of certain petitions involving a potential risk to biodiversity in the European Union."@en1
