lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because a healthy environment and a high level of environmental protection are prerequisites for guaranteeing the quality of life as well as preserving the stability of ecosystems. The current 6th Environment Action Programme (EAP), which was the first one to be adopted by codecision, will expire on 22 July 2012. The 6th EAP has provided an overarching framework for environment policy, during which environmental legislation has been consolidated and substantially completed, its legitimacy has increased and this has helped create a sense of ownership. However, progress towards the objectives set out in the 6th EAP has been variable. The EU Member States and the Commission have not always acted in accordance with this programme – major differences in environmental quality and public health remain between Member States. Furthermore, the programme had some shortcomings, which have to be addressed. Major environmental challenges therefore remain which will have significant consequences unless they are addressed. Urgent action thus needs to be taken to help the move towards a sustainable future. We should adopt the 7th EAP which should be an overarching framework that makes it possible to deal with both persistent and emerging environmental and sustainability challenges, with due regard to existing and planned measures. It is important to focus attention on the implementation and strengthening of EU environmental legislation, the integration of environmental objectives into all sectoral policies and the international dimension of environment protection."@en1
