"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, making the Commission’s Gatt proposal slightly greener has been criticised as leading to more bureaucracy. I would say, on the contrary, that it does not make things green enough. Furthermore, I would particularly like to ask whether, while the proposal was being drafted, the wretched ecological state of the Baltic Sea and the fact that the Baltic is the world’s most polluted maritime area were taken into account. The worst problem in the Baltic Sea is eutrophication, and the biggest source of the eutrophicating nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus, is agriculture – agriculture in EU countries. An excess of nutrients results in huge rafts of toxic algae on the surface of the sea and dead zones devoid of oxygen at the bottom. The zone devoid of oxygen at the bottom of the Baltic Sea is the largest among all the world’s maritime areas. I would like to ask if the Commission will now take absolutely seriously its responsibility to rescue the Baltic as part of agricultural development."@en1
