"Our European leaders failed yet again to break the deadlock in the negotiations for the conference in Copenhagen. Of course, this summit was spun in the media as a success when, in truth, we got nothing but waffle. Our European leaders had the chance to make a just and credible offer of financing to the developing world to cover the costs of climate change, which is affecting their countries the most, but which is caused by us in the developed world. This summit did not meet the standard set by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety of this Parliament and by civil society around the world, which have called for no less than EUR 30 billion to be pledged by the EU and, crucially, for a firm commitment that this would be new and additional to existing overseas development aid. Copenhagen or no Copenhagen, climate change will be with us for decades to come. This is the biggest test so far of the 21st century. We must reach a legally binding agreement in Copenhagen, and for that, we need from our European leaders real political courage and less of the waffle."@en1
