"Mr President, Copenhagen showed us that the EU failed to find partners for its far-reaching ideas. In the future, the EU must not give up its targets, the commitment of three times 20% but, at the same time, it should reconsider its negotiating position and mandate, because we cannot pursue an ostrich policy. The lessons from Copenhagen should be learnt. That mandate was not successful. We failed to understand the commitment of China and other developing countries. We failed to understand the room Mr Obama had to manoeuvre and we were unable to speak with a common voice. As part of the debate of the Spanish Presidency, the President, Mr Verhofstadt, rightly stated that Europe had no common voice.
We cannot pursue an ostrich policy. After Copenhagen, we cannot behave and we cannot do politics the same way as we did before Copenhagen. The EU should reposition itself and set a new mandate by the time of the negotiating round in Mexico. First of all, we should investigate how to achieve the 2
C target, which is the result of Copenhagen. During the next period, European policy should be aimed at establishing a flexible position in order to achieve success. Thank you for your attention."@en1
