"Mr President, twenty years on from the last sustainability summit in Rio de Janeiro, we have not actually made very much progress. Biodiversity is still declining throughout the world. Greenhouse gas levels are increasing. The oceans are being depleted more and more. Desertification is increasing.
Does that make our economy so much better? The current economic crisis is showing us the consequences of the financial bubble on which we have built our economy. Rio de Janeiro therefore means that we have to change both our economic and environmental course. As is often the case, we all agree with each other here in this Chamber. Minister Kraszewski wants a greener economy, Commissioner Hedegaard, Commissioner Potočnik, they are all in favour of that greener economy. However, if we want to be credible, then we really ought to put this in place ourselves and set an example. Where is Poland in terms of an ambitious climate agenda? We hear nothing coming from Poland about the green economy. In terms of our agricultural policy, when will we see the real greening? In terms of our fisheries policy, are we really going to address depletion? When we talk about Rio de Janeiro, we, as Europe, really ought to lead by example."@en1
