Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Harrison (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 27 June 2006.
Marine Legislation
- Question
- My Lords, did my noble friend notice that, as well as laying emphasis on the environment, the European Union Green Paper on marine strategy refers to the Lisbon agenda of promoting jobs and competitiveness in the European Union?
- Answer
-
My Lords, yes, but we are not creating jobs; we are regulating what we do with the overall marine environment to make sure that what we do is sustainable. If we use our brains on sustainability, we end up creating more wealth and jobs than we do when we are damaging the environment.
