Hr. formand, kære kolleger, selvom vi stadig har mange fremskridt at gøre, er det sandt, at Den Europæiske Union altid har haft en samarbejds- og udviklingspolitik over for udviklingslandene, og jeg tror, at miljøaspektet skal integreres og udvikles heri.
Mr President, while much progress remains to be made, it is true that the European Union has always pursued a policy of cooperation and development in respect of developing countries, and I believe that the environmental dimension must be incorporated into this policy and expanded upon.
