"Global climate change constitutes a problem we believe there are good reasons for dealing with at international level. The EU is one of several international organisations that have an important task to perform in this connection.
We question, however, why the European Parliament needs to call upon the Member States and the future Presidencies to act in a certain way on climate issues. The resolution contains political views concerning energy issues and the Kyoto Protocol, as well as instructions as to the way in which third countries such as China, India and the United States should act.
We are voting against this resolution. Our reason for adopting this position is that we believe that the national parliaments should decide of their own accord upon their respective commitments and positions concerning political issues and do so within international organisations. The report contains exhortations from the European Parliament to the Member States and third countries as to how they should act on the very important climate issue. That is something to which we object, in spite of a number of good intentions in the proposed resolution."@en1
