"Mr President, climate change is the great problem of our time. Urgent action to slow global warming is necessary. The Copenhagen Conference is the last chance to avoid collapse at a time when there are positive signs coming from the United States. With the election of President Obama, the European Union must present a credible and ambitious proposal in order to mobilise other regions. As far as sharing the burden is concerned, an issue which I have followed closely as shadow rapporteur for the Socialist Group in the European Parliament and on which, I hope, we will be able to reach an agreement, I think the Member States have to undertake to reduce CO emissions internally, and not only at the expense of external credits. The economic crisis is not, as some people here say, the result of environmental policies: it was caused by damaging management and there are probably cases for the police, not politics. The European Parliament is doing its homework: it is to be hoped that the Council does the same, without giving in to national selfishness and false arguments. The development of new technologies brings opportunities for the economy and for creating jobs. I close, Mr President-in-Office of the Council and my dear fellow Members, with an appeal for us to all make an effort to reach an agreement at first reading. The world needs an international agreement and the citizens expect us to take measures."@en1
