Bienvenue. Je m'appelle Janez Potočnik et je suis le Commissaire européen en charge de l'environnement. S'assurer que notre environnement est adapté pour l'avenir est l'un des défis les plus difficiles de tous ... J'espère que ce site vous montrera ce que nous faisons pour essayer de relever ce défi.

29/10/2014: "A last message"
As my term of office at the European Commission comes to an end I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of you for your support during these past five years.
During my mandate I have focused on policies that will contribute to preserving our natural heritage while at the same time help provide growth opportunities and create jobs. Despite the many difficulties due to the economic and political fragility that have marked the world and the EU in these past years, we succeeded in keeping environment high on the political agenda.
I am confident that my successor will continue to promote policy-making that addresses the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. I cannot imagine that we would in the future protect the environment without changing some of the basics of our economic behaviour and, on the other hand, I cannot imagine that we would in the future talk about economic growth and jobs ignoring that we live in a finite world.
