==Record and Controversies==
===Declaration of Financial Interests===
===Record of Parliamentary Votes===
*Voted against the directive on "establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy" (A5-0027/2000). The directive covers all water management aspects in order to achieve a 'good status' of all waters by 2015.Friends of the Earth, EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009.
*Voted against the directive on "national emission ceilings for certain atmospheric pollutants" (A5-0063/2000). The amendment allows setting less ambitious national emission ceilings for sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), ammonia (NH3) and volatile organic compounds (VOC), which would result in more damage to human health and the environment.Friends of the Earth, EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009.
*Voted in favour of the Commission White Paper on "Strategy for a future Chemicals Policy" (A5-0356/2001). The amendment helps avoid the necessary precautionary approach towards some chemical substances that are not proven to be completely safe.Friends of the Earth, EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009.
*Voted against the directive on "waste electrical and electronic equipment" (A5-0100/2002). The amendment sets higher reuse and recycling rates for IT and telecommunication equipment.Friends of the Earth, EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009. Rejected due to lack of absolute majority.
*Voted against the regulation concerning "traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms" (A5-0229/2002).

*Voted against the report towards a "thematic strategy on the sustainable use of pesticides" (A5-0061/2003).

*Voted against the directive on "environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage" (A5-0145/2003). According to the amendment, polluters have to pay for environmental clean-up, and it supports an EU-wide regime which makes polluters liable for the damage they cause to wildlife, water and land.Friends of the Earth, EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009.
*Voted against the directive on restructuring the "Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity" (A5-0302/2003). The amendment aims at giving tax benefits to environmentally friendly sources of energy, which would make them cheaper and more competitive to conventional (more polluting) sources of energy. It also gives tax benefits to environmentally friendly uses of energy for transport, for instance trains.Friends of the Earth, EU Vote Watch, accessed 02 February 2009. Rejected due to lack of absolute majority.
