"The 6th Environment Action Programme has almost come to an end after a 10-year programme that has led to the achievement of a number of environmental policy targets on a global level.
Europe continues to want to be at the forefront by taking upon itself unilateral commitments without demanding, as it should, a global effort. A 7th Environment Action Programme has become necessary to achieve targets set by the Europe 2020 strategy. Among these are the strengthening of environmental legislation and the recognition of an international dimension to environmental protection.
The protection of our environment enhances quality of life, especially since it preserves ecosystems and their services, halts the loss of biodiversity, ensures better water quality and less noise pollution, creates jobs and growth and ensures the well-being of present and future generations.
I am against the text of the report because the prospect of achieving these objectives will prove to be counterproductive, since they will be difficult to achieve except at a disproportionate and hardly sustainable cost, which will be borne entirely by European citizens. Environmental protection, the protection of biodiversity and the fight against climate change need to be undertaken on a global level."@en1
