"As draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, I welcome the result of the vote. We are talking about a technology that, if all goes well, can offer a partial solution to climate change, but we must not allow it to distract us from the importance of the entire climate package.
The new Member States, including Hungary, have significantly reduced their greenhouse gas emissions since the end of the 1980s. It would be a serious indignity if they were now punished by those who until now have increased their harmful emissions. For this reason, we would like to achieve a proportionate distribution of 10% of the revenues from the carbon trading scheme among those Member States where the per capita GDP is lower than the European Union average.
Similarly, we would allocate 10% to those who have reduced their emissions in the past 15 years. The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety has succeeded in gaining an exemption for long-distance heating systems from the Climate Change Levy, an achievement that must be maintained in the interest of millions of low-income European citizens. As draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on the Environment, I join those mentioned above in supporting the report."@en1
