Amendment 18 #
Paragraph 1
1. Welcomes the Commission’s initiative to introduce an EIR and recognises its enormous potential, if the right political importance and full transparency will be given to it; the EIR has the potential of putting implementation problems high on the political agenda, to serve as an 'early warning' mechanism for decision makers and to ultimately improve the implementation of European environmental legislation and policy;
