lpv:translated text	"Climate changes are more and more obvious and humankind should change its behavior, giving more attention to environmental protection. Europe is already dealing with very high temperatures during summer, droughts followed by heavy rains and floods, violent storms and desertification of vast regions, especially in the Southern and Eastern regions. Romania has not been exempt from the effects of climate change either. In recent years, we have seen devastating floods, hot days, violent storms, the desertification of regions in the Southern and Eastern part of the country, a decrease in precipitation. All these have led to loss of human lives, important material damage and a decrease in agricultural production. Europe needs to take firm action today in order to reduce the effects of climate change. Europe needs to take action for a better water management, protection against floods, wastewater purification, protection of coastal areas, increase in energy efficiency, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, adopting less polluting agriculture, adopting ecological transport, stopping deforestation. Special attention must be given to areas under desertification. Europe should examine the possibility of investing in an irrigation system that would assist the Member States in danger of diminishing their agricultural production following desertification in building or improving their irrigation systems. I congratulate the Commission for the Green Paper on a new urban mobility policy. 20% of European motorists could use public transport. Also, reducing the speed limit will allow us to fight the greenhouse effect. The introduction of aviation into the emission certificates trading scheme is a first step forward. The introduction of maritime transport into this scheme is also being considered. Unfortunately, the Union’s current budget does not integrate the necessary actions for reducing climate change sufficiently and coherently. The budget for climate change is modest."@en1
