"− The EU’s ambitions to reduce CO over the next few years are extremely significant. We must remember, however, that unless the US, China and India take a similar approach, our ambitions will not yield the anticipated result. The current objective is to reduce CO emissions by 20%, and even this represents a huge effort for some EU Member States, whose coal-based economies cannot be shifted to other sources of energy in a short space of time. Further moves to tighten up emissions restrictions would entail high costs for the EU as a whole, and would result in EU-based economic entities being less competitive than those in the US, China or India. For this reason, I do not believe that the Eickhout report responds to the expectations of a significant number of Europe’s citizens and economic entities, and I therefore voted in favour of rejecting it. Thank you."@en1
