"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the Union must take a leading position – as to a large extent it has succeeded in doing – in the adoption of environmentally friendly policies. In this respect, your own contribution, Mr Dimas, has been substantial. The adaptation of all sectoral strategies to sustainable development models is, in any case, a primary regulatory target.
The strengthening of international trade is considered to contribute to world economic development and indeed to benefit not only the developed but also the developing countries. The rapidly increasing volume of cross-border trade flows, however, is a challenge to climate policy. The limits of the mutually supportive or antagonistic relationship between the world trading system and policies on climate change are the subject of the report we are discussing. Unfortunately, an imbalance can be seen in the report between the commercial and the environmental component. The rapid development of international trade ought to be treated exclusively as a factor causing environmental stress. Furthermore, the adoption of climate policies is not, in itself, enough; there is a need for a coherent overall plan reflecting environmentally friendly preferences in the policies on transport, trade, industry, energy and agriculture. In any case, the Union’s effort alone is not enough to combat climate change. The Union’s world lead in establishing models of environmental and social protection must be continued and promoted in its trade relations with countries outside the EU.
Ladies and gentlemen, the motion for a resolution contains some key points. The Group of the European People’s Party and European Democrats has decided that a final vote in favour of the motion should be dependent on the outcome of the votes on these points."@en1
