"Mr President, I would like to thank the rapporteurs for this interim report. It does not tell us a great deal, but it does set out where we have been going with this, and, for me, there are clearly two strands.
I came to this because of my rapporteurship on air quality, and my problems started when I was given a presentation from the Directorate-General for the Environment at the beginning of that process – that is about three years ago now – which clearly showed that they were very well aware of the disconnect between the actual standards and what they delivered on the road. I honestly can tell you that was the first time I was aware of it, and from that moment on I was determined that we should get to the bottom of why that should happen.
Now, in this particular inquiry, with these two strands, political and technical, my concern is that we make sure that, at the end of this, we know what the political lessons were; we understand clearly why the parts of the Commission that should have been working together, to make this work for citizens and their health, were not doing so quickly enough and not taking their responsibility seriously enough; and that we have in place a system that will ensure this never happens again."@en1
