lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this directive underlines the seriousness of our intent to come to terms with greenhouse gases. I congratulate the rapporteur for the excellent job he has done in a very difficult area. The question of whether participation in the emissions trading scheme provided for under this directive should be mandatory in the pilot phase has been the subject of much debate in Member States, including Ireland. It is one of the key issues in this draft directive. The environmental and industrial perspectives are quite different and we need to find the right balance. We govern, after all, by consent. The desire from an environmental perspective for a wholly mandatory regime must fit well with market considerations and be industry-friendly. It must be flexible and market based. It makes sense to accept a scheme that is mandatory at the level of Member States as all states must participate in the effort to reduce emissions. Indeed, we will need sellers in the market for it to work. We need to have some latitude at the level of individual installations to temporarily opt out of the scheme for the pilot phase only. Of course, any installation opting out must be required to take equivalent action to reduce emissions. This temporary opt-out provision should only last for the pilot phase because from 2008 onwards we are obliged to achieve legally-binding targets under the Kyoto Protocol. I urge support for compromise amendment 50, and amendment 99 dealing with CO2 emitted from the decarbonation of limestone to produce lime, which makes an important, environmentally friendly contribution to the market. I hope the Commission can accept both those amendments."@en1
