lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I should like first of all to thank Mrs Doyle for drawing up the report and also for having overseen the debate. We have to oppose global warming because of the enormous impact that it has on the environment. I should just like to mention the fact – as we can see in the newspapers every day – that extreme events are getting worse: heavier rains and longer droughts. The European Union regards this problem as central to the issue of sustainable development, which, in turn, is one of the fundamental principles for the Union: solidarity with future generations, on a par with the dignity of the individual and democracy. The more complex the molecule, the more intense is the greenhouse effect. Organofluorines belong to this category and must be taken into serious consideration. There is all the more reason, then, to think systematically – that is, looking at the whole system – that the impact has to be minimised in relation to the global greenhouse effect, and thus we should not be concerned just with the gas in question but also with the way in which it is used. Therefore, it is essential to minimise its overall global warming potential: that of the gas and that of the equipment. If the emissions trading method works – as it does – I believe we should first of all apply a kind of internal emissions trading to the systems where the method is being used, reducing the effects of the gas and equipment to a minimum in the first place and analysing the costs and benefits. The systems I am referring to are, for instance, mobile air conditioners, fixed air conditioners, and the system comprising the gas plus the energy needed to make the equipment work. Gas is used to extinguish fires and, like fire, is a source of greenhouse gas, so the effects of both the gas and the emissions from the fire must be evaluated. It is therefore important not to be prescriptive and over-attentive to detail, but to aim at minimising the greenhouse effect as a whole. There are gases, such as sulphur hexafluoride, for which there are no alternatives and which thus constitute exceptions, because vital equipment depends on such gases."@en1
