4. Stresses that trade plays a key role in energy security, and that strong energy partnerships, reinforced by the inclusion of energy chapters in the EU’s trade agreements, are essential tools; considers it of key importance that these chapters enhance the EU’s energy diversification and reduce dependence on imported energy sources from too few suppliers, establish quality standards for energy products and common standards for sustainable energy production, and encourage both diversification of supply routes and local energy production, especially from renewables, as the energy security strategy should promote the use of domestic energ ...[+++]y sources, energy efficiency, interconnection and consumption reduction policies; believes that foreign direct investment in strategic energy infrastructure assets in the Union can have also negative effects and should be monitored by the Commission; calls on the Commission to provide the Member States with the best possible technical support in order to safeguard swift, proper implementation of EU legislation in the area of energy; points out that where EU Member States have a negative trade balance, this is mostly due to the costs of imports of fossil fuels;

Some of them are as follows: the departments need to assess the gaps between projected demands for scientific research on toxic substances and existing capacity; they need to better integrate and collaborate on research; they need to work together to identify current and projected monitoring needs and establish a national monitoring system; they need to develop a process for incorporating new information into previous decisions, including pesticide re-evaluation; they need to develop plans for implementing the toxic substances management policy; they need to promote pollution prevention in industry; they need to define objectives and establish and implement plans for reducing the risk of industrial chemicals to public health and the e ...[+++]nvironment; they need to develop a policy outlining conditions necessary for entering into voluntary agreements and increase their rigour; and finally, they need to develop a policy for pesticide risk reduction and establish a database of pesticide sales and releases.

Coherence between Directive 2000/60/EC, the above-mentioned legislation and other relevant legislation should therefore be strengthened to ensure the appropriate application of source-control mechanisms.
