"Global climate change constitutes a problem we believe there are good reasons for dealing with at international level. We nonetheless question whether a common strategy is needed for what action the EU is to take at the Buenos Aires Conference on Climate Change. In our view, the individual Member States should determine independently their respective national positions prior to this conference.
Over and above this basic position, we question paragraph five of the resolution, to the effect that the European Parliament should call on those countries that have still not ratified the Kyoto Protocol to do so. We are of the view that countries should each decide their positions on this protocol at national level.
We are also opposed to the idea that the Commission and the Member States should stress the need for climate protection when conducting dialogues with other countries. We believe that Member States must each be allowed to decide their national positions themselves.
The European Parliament is here using an important global environmental conference to increase the supranational element of EU cooperation."@en1
