I wish to give the following explanation of vote on behalf of the Christian Social Union of Bavaria (CSU) delegation in the European Parliament.
The EU has set itself ambitious climate-protection targets. These include a 20% reduction in CO
emissions by 2020. These climate-protection targets should not be called into question.
Our endeavours to combat climate change must be coupled with an aim to draw up clear legislation, so as to ensure planning security for our economy. Nor should European industry be put at a disadvantage in international competition. In addition, a level playing field must be created within the EU.
The directive put to the vote today concerning the EU Emissions Trading Scheme meets none of these requirements. To clarify:
1. Certain industries can derogate from the auctioning of CO
allowances. We are still completely in the dark about the data to be drawn on for compliance with the criteria laid down.
2. Only at Member State level and only after EU law on aid has been adapted is it to be decided, on a case-by-case basis, whether, and by how much, an installation can be compensated for energy cost rises.
3. If an international agreement cannot be reached in Copenhagen in 2009, the auctioning of CO
allowances will create an additional burden on many industries that their non-EU competitors lack.
4. Most Eastern European Member States have obtained derogations from the auctioning of their CO
allowances to the energy sector. This puts Germany at a disadvantage as, in contrast to its eastern neighbours, it obtains 48% of its electricity from coal power stations."@en1
