"As the Gahler report states, ‘the challenges facing the Arctic are global and should therefore include all relevant actors’. The issue of the Arctic region now requires our constant attention more than ever, because of the worrying problems caused by the effects of climate change. The Arctic is, geopolitically, a very important region, containing an estimated one fifth of the world’s undiscovered hydrocarbon resources. The fact that three EU Member States – Denmark, Finland and Sweden – are Arctic countries accounts for the Union’s interest in ensuring that environmental factors are henceforth taken far more into account than they are at present. The Union has always fought for the environment and has made great efforts to protect it through preventive measures. With the outcome of today’s vote in this House, it is once again strongly confirming its position."@en1
