lpv:translated text	"Mr President, unfortunately, the development of environmental policy is often such that new environmental requirements are only adopted when there is some sort of major accident. The aim of environmental legislation should not only be about response but, above all, prevention, in order to stop such accidents. In future, we must go further and apply the so-called precautionary principle. The directive being debated today is especially intended to ensure that legal requirements are in line with technological progress. Sadly, it is regrettable that we are not ambitious enough and are so far trying to catch up with reality. For instance, offshore hydrocarbon exploration, extraction and transportation do not yet fall within the scope of the directive. It probably makes little difference whether a tanker is carrying oil or gas or, for instance, ammonia. In every case where there is an accident, the damage is significant. However, I am very pleased about the inclusion of the provisions of the Aarhus Convention in this document. In my opinion, citizens have the right to obtain information, participate in decision making and have access to justice. I believe that all of this will ensure a high level of environmental protection. It is important for citizens to receive information about actions in the event of a possible accident and for them to receive information about the date objects are inspected. I would like to give my congratulations to the rapporteur Mr János Áder, who I believe has done a great job and would like to wish the Hungarian Presidency good luck."@en1
