"As a member of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, I voted for the motion for a resolution calling on the European Union and its partners to approach with ambition and determination the next round of climate talks, due to take place in November in Durban, South Africa. I wholeheartedly agree with the main message of this resolution: we do in fact need ‘a comprehensive, international, fair, ambitious and legally binding agreement post-2011’ as we need to keep global warming below 2ºC and stop it becoming irreversible. In this fight against climate change, I am convinced that the Europeans should lead the way. Moreover, these efforts must not be made at the expense of growth and competitiveness. On the contrary, they will guarantee the creation of more green jobs and innovation in Europe. On this matter, I welcome the fact that the European Commission is proposing that, from 2014 onwards, 20% of the EU cohesion policy fund be used to fight climate change. This will significantly help with the transition of our economy towards greener practices."@en1
