"I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the fact that we have not had the opportunity to vote against the proposal for personal CO cards, in other words personal cards where we are expected to measure the contribution of individuals to the greenhouse effect. This is simply wrong. It is against human enterprise and development and sends extremely strange signals: don’t breathe, don’t exercise, especially don’t pant and for God’s sake, don’t fart! What should the sanctions be for those who emit too much carbon dioxide or contribute too much to the greenhouse effect? Should we ban them from breathing altogether? No, these kinds of idiotic ideas undermine our credibility and shift the focus away from the correct, effective measures, namely emissions rights trading, the polluter pays principle and other methods which actually work. I am surprised that more people have not protested against this proposal and that it seems to have passed unnoticed. I am very sad if this speech has resulted in my emitting more carbon dioxide than I am actually entitled to. I am sorry about that."@en1
