".
The resolution is a wish list which is not up to the serious problem threatening the future of the planet.
While it is a good thing that direct allocation methods are supported, they are not expressly mentioned. They confine themselves solely to renewable energy sources, to the strengthening of energy performance and to the production of energy from biomass, without including other measures such as using biofuels as partial substitutes for mineral fuels, making greater use of the heat generated in electricity stations, improving the techniques available for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases per produced energy unit and providing essential protection for and developing forests to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.
The endeavours of the ΕU to 'set an example' are belied by the Commission's data, which illustrate that the EU of the 15 is well behind schedule if it is to meet the target of reducing greenhouse gases by 8% in 2010 compared with 1990.
We confirm our categorical and unwavering opposition to trading in greenhouse gases as inefficient and hypocritical. As the resolution not only accepts but also strengthens trading in pollutants, proving that the multinationals and their political mouthpieces can pollute as long as they pay and that they have little interest in really reversing these dangerous developments, we shall vote against the motion."@en1
