"A healthy environment and a high level of environmental protection are prerequisites for guaranteeing the quality of life as well as for preserving the stability of ecosystems. Environment action programmes are a powerful driver for the adoption of strong EU environmental legislation, particularly in areas such as air, water, waste and climate. The protection of our environment increases the quality of life, in particular, by safeguarding ecosystems and their services, halting the loss of biodiversity, ensuring better air quality and less noise, creating jobs and growth, and safeguarding the well-being of current and future generations. The current 6th Environment Action Programme (6EAP) will expire in July this year. Its final assessment concluded that the 6EAP has provided an overarching framework for environmental policy, during which environmental legislation has been consolidated and substantially completed. Despite these positive facts, I believe that the state of our environment still cannot be considered to be fully satisfactory. I therefore consider it important and legitimate to adopt as soon as possible a 7th EAP in order to ensure continuity and, as far as possible, a long-term sustainable future. In addition, a future 7th EAP should provide a clear ambitious vision for 2050, in order to give a long-term perspective for all stakeholders."@en1
