Chrysoula Paliadeli (S&D). – (EL) Mr President, I, too, should like to take my turn in thanking Mr Iturgaiz Angulo for a truly careful, serious, objective and ultimately didactic approach to such an important problem which has plagued Europe over recent years. I consider that the suggestions made in this report, at certain points at least, may allow the Commission and the Member States to adapt their policies, in order to address a problem which, although not equally serious in all the EU Member States, is taking on ever increasing dimensions. I consider that the Member States have a basic obligation to inform their citizens, without confining themselves merely to comments, and to restore confidence in connection with a problem that concerns us all. I think that it goes without saying that we need more objective data to measure environmental infringements. Finally, I consider cross-border cooperation to be very important.
