lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I welcome the proposal to choose 1990 as the reference year. It is important to recognise the tremendous efforts that have been made by France and Finland to reduce their emissions between 1990 and 1995. This proposal replaces the mechanism in operation since 1993 for monitoring greenhouse gas emissions and evaluating progress towards meeting commitments in respect of these emissions. These proposals reflect the reporting requirements of the Marrakesh Accords to the Kyoto Protocol, including the use of flexible mechanisms and registries. It is essential to ensure that more information is available concerning the emission levels from within the Member States of the Union. We all agree on the importance of complying with the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change. The earth's average surface temperature rose by around 0.06o Celsius during the 20th century. Evidence is getting stronger that most of the global warming over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities. These activities relate to the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, which have caused emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. We want to see all industrialised countries take urgent action to reduce or limit future greenhouse gas emissions. Temperature increases can trigger serious consequences, with coastal areas flooded and the lives of many people living in island communities under threat. The European Union is implementing the European Climate Change Programme, which will ensure that the Union achieves the 8% cut in emissions between 2008 and 2012, which is our political commitment under the Kyoto Protocol. I congratulate Mr Sacconi on his report."@en1
