"The only option available to us is not to produce less, but to make our production smarter and greener. It is important for us to reduce polluting emissions, but we also need to ensure economic development and preserve jobs.
Compared with the 8% reduction set by the Kyoto Protocol, Romania cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 43% between 1990 and 2005. This was unfortunately achieved through the restructuring processes implemented by heavy industry companies and in spite of dependence on fossil fuels. Although it would have been more advantageous to have 1990 as the reference year, I welcome the flexibility and solidarity shown to new Member States in the form of a transition period required for making considerable investments to make companies operate more efficiently.
We have obtained through amendments the allocation of free allowances for residential district heating and for heating or cooling systems based on efficient cogeneration, the provision of support for lower income families from revenues generated from auctioning emission allowances, and the exemption of hospitals and small installations from the emission certificates trading scheme. Thank you."@en1
