"I welcome the motion for a resolution adopted by the European Parliament ahead of the forthcoming climate change conference in Durban. It is vital that we reach an international, legally binding agreement. We call on the European Union to confirm its strong commitment to the Kyoto Protocol and to show its unequivocal support for a second commitment period post-2012. The EU must formally invite all of its international partners to do the same, in order to achieve the objectives set by the Kyoto Protocol, namely reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting global warming linked to climate change to 2°C. This resolution has allowed us to turn the spotlight on a subject that is very close to my heart: improving forest management as a prerequisite for reducing deforestation. In particular, we have emphasised the need to implement the mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). Parliament has thus sent a strong message aimed at the establishment of a proper mechanism for combating deforestation, which accounts for some 20% of greenhouse gas emissions."@en1
