lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is likely that this is the most important issue we could discuss in the European Parliament, as we are talking about the world’s future. In relation to the conference in Durban, I suppose we could view the glass as being half-full or half-empty. I view the glass as half-full, as we have made unexpected progress. Global warming is obviously a global problem and needs a global solution. We have to work in particular towards the target of keeping global warming down to less than 2% and at least an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In relation to Europe, we have to lead by example, particularly in relation to reaching the 2020 targets for renewable energy, energy efficiency and energy savings, and to show, as Commissioner Hedegaard herself said on 7 November in Brussels, that green and growth go together. It then becomes a no-brainer for the rest of the world. On the broader front we have to tackle the big offenders: aviation, shipping and deforestation. In relation to deforestation in particular, we have to ensure that our trade policies do not encourage deforestation, particularly in the Mercosur countries. Nevertheless, we have made progress."@en1
