".
The issue of climate change and its effects on the planet forms part of the framework of increasingly accentuated globalisation and forces us to rethink our view of the world and of the development models in use.
Studies into climate change suggest that its impact has become sharply worse. Phenomena caused by climate change, which continue to occur, have serious social, environmental, economic and public health consequences.
Whilst I feel that preventing climate change must involve each Member State adopting policies and measures aimed at reducing greenhouse emissions, I also believe in the relevance of the Kyoto Protocol, which is the most important international instrument in the fight against climate change.
The EU delegation to the Buenos Aires Conference must, in my view, take a leading role in negotiations. It must seek to warn its international partners of the need to protect the climate, and must instigate frank, open and sensible dialogue with the United States to persuade it to reverse its decision not to ratify the Protocol.
I voted in favour."@en1
