lpv:translated text	"Mr President, firstly I would like to thank the European Commission and Mr Dimas for this Green Paper on ‘Adapting to climate change in Europe – options for EU action’. I would also like to thank Mr Sacconi for all the work he has done on the motion for a resolution. I think both documents contain very valuable elements. Adapting to climate change can be woven into a lot of existing legislation in the areas of water, energy, agriculture and fisheries, and industry, for example. It is also important to assist developing countries in adapting to climate change, for example in the field of environmental technology transfer. The European Union has, in my opinion, an historical responsibility in this area. At EU level we need to talk primarily about coordinating and gathering knowledge for our strategic policy. Moreover, it is vital that the Member States, regions, local authorities and businesses, but also individual citizens, take responsibility for adaptation strategies. Fortunately, positive strategies have already been created in this area. I am delighted that this element has also been highlighted in Mr Sacconi’s motion for a resolution. I expect that the European Commission and the Council are taking the recommendations of the European Parliament into serious consideration. The EU will then be able to speak with a single voice to the other parties in the international climate debate at the upcoming climate conferences in Poznań and Copenhagen."@en1
