"Global climate change constitutes a significant problem, which we believe there are good reasons for dealing with at an international level. The Wijkman report has a lot going for it. However, the June List restates its position that the European Parliament should not take over the Member States’ foreign policies by calling on third countries that have not yet ratified the Kyoto Protocol to do so.
It is also regrettable that the report calls on the Member States to deal with a number of matters that should be handled at national level. For example, it includes proposals for EU-wide speed limits, traffic charges and tax incentives and for the development of rail transport and public transport in general. We are also critical of EU initiatives to make people aware of the ways in which unrestrained consumption and production affect the climate. This is a dimension that can, of course, be dealt with at national level.
We have chosen to vote against the report as a whole, but have supported individual amendments in order, in our view, to improve the report."@en1
