*Voted against the directive on "national emission ceilings for certain atmospheric pollutants" (A5-0063/2000).

*Voted against the Commission White Paper on "Strategy for a future Chemicals Policy" (A5-0356/2001).

*Voted in favour of the directive on restructuring the "Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity" (A5-0302/2003).
