The report proposes the adoption of a new proposal by the Commission according to which the European Union could be able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 not by 20%, as originally proposed, but by 30%.
However, it does not seem to be advisable to force an acceleration of the current plan of action. The current plan has proved to be effective and well-judged, and the European Union is already making a substantial contribution to the reduction of gas emissions. The international players we should be calling on to show greater commitment and sincerity in the battle against emissions are others, specifically emerging countries in Asia.
Greater commitment on the part of the European Union, as called for in this report, would only effectively be useful if matched by a similar effort by the other industrial powers on the planet. The European Union and its citizens certainly cannot take on the responsibilities of the other parties involved. In the light of these considerations, I decided to vote against the report."@en1
