Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
Text proposed by the Commission(2) The Aarhus Convention, ratified by the European Community on 17 February 2005 by Council Decision 2005/370/EC , recognises that increased public access to environmental information and the dissemination of such information contribute to a greater awareness of environmental matters, a free exchange of views, more effective participation by the public in environmental decision-making and, eventually, to a better environment.	Amendment(2) The Aarhus Convention, ratified by the European Community on 17 February 2005 by Council Decision 2005/370/EC, recognises that increased public access to environmental information and the dissemination of such information contribute to a greater awareness of environmental matters, a free exchange of views, more effective participation by the public in environmental decision-making and, eventually, to a better environment. Where national or Union law requires that commercial or industrial information be kept confidential to protect a legitimate economic interest, that confidentiality should be safeguarded, in order to protect such legitimate economic interests.
