lpv:translated text	"Commissioner, if we measure the achievements of Bonn against what we hoped for five years ago with regard to climate change, the results are meagre. On the other hand, if we measure what was achieved by that battle that you waged, Commissioner – in conjunction with Parliament’s delegation and that of the rest of the Commission – to conclude the agreement that was finally reached, we must thank you, Commissioner, and this delegation for having concluded an agreement that is fundamentally consistent, in that all the countries adopted this approach. The result of this was to isolate the United States who, unfortunately, is sticking to a position that is not in the interests of the world as a whole. I also feel that the exclusion of nuclear energy as an alternative to reducing greenhouse gases is a positive development. We cannot conceal our reticence over emissions trading and its monitoring or the use of sinks. The European Parliament has already stated, on several occasions, that sinks should only be used in a limited and carefully monitored way. These issues are of concern to us. We are also concerned about follow-up and monitoring mechanisms for compliance and the issue of possible sanctions in the event of non-compliance. Of greatest concern to us is the fact that the report by the European Environment Agency states that unless decisions are taken immediately, by 2010 emissions will increase by 6%. In our future work – and here I agree with my fellow speakers – it is, therefore, we industrialised countries that will have to lead the way in this reduction of emissions. It is crucial that we ratify the protocol and make greater reductions than those laid down in the agreement. We must introduce legally binding measures, take action on transport, which emits huge quantities of CO2 and clarify the amount of aid to be given to developing countries to ensure that they take similar action."@en1
