lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would agree with the comments made by the Commissioner, Jo Leinen and Corinne Lepage, and with a lot of comments from other colleagues. If governments failed in Rio to agree the level of ambition we would have liked them to achieve, it is true that people see that businesses did arrive at this level of ambition. Condemning the weak wording of this agreement from the Earth summit in Rio often makes us blind as to what has been achieved. We all wanted more in Rio, but it is not true that nothing has been achieved. Let us implement what has been agreed. In my view, it is often better to have a weak agreement which is fully implemented, than a wonderful agreement which is not. Therefore, let us fulfil those obligations. We have many opportunities to do so. Let us fulfil the obligation on the oceans. Let us make the world environment organisation a reality. Let us build on the momentum that has been built globally, moving beyond GDP. On the issue of roadless areas, for the first time in the framework of these Earth summits, we had a presentation by two global satellite mapping tools on the world’s roadless areas. They were mapped by Google Maps and Eye On Earth. It presented the fact that the best way to protect an area is to keep it roadless. If you want to connect people within a protected area, there are other ways to do so other than by roads e.g. railways and waterways. I call on the Commissioner to support this global fight and help make the protection of roadless areas a reality within the EU."@en1
