lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to thank you for the challenging work that you have done, which will lead to a number of results in the real world, as is evident from the written policy commitments. In Europe, we are a leader in environmentally friendly technologies. We are a leader in the field of clean technologies and a leader in renewable energy sources. In Europe, we are leading by example – that is, the example we are setting by raising the awareness of 500 million Europeans about sustainability, a healthy environment and a healthy lifestyle. Our challenge is how to promote further research and how to apply that philosophy in real life. A lot of what is a matter of course for us is very much more remote for others. We therefore need to bring our communication in line with that. It is hard to talk in India about a low-carbon society while 500 million people there have no access to electricity. However, what we can talk about are opportunities for solar power plants and renewable energy sources. Though it is hard to say that they should no longer be allowed to use coal, we can talk about the clean technologies that we have mastered and thereby achieve identical objectives. Today, our attention should be focused primarily on the economic crisis. We cannot saw off the branches that support millions of jobs. The process of restructuring into green jobs will obviously take longer than all of us would like it to. However, we are heading in the right direction and the time for this is ripe. Parliament and Commissioner Potočnik have invested a lot of energy and commitment into ensuring that global political commitment becomes more tangible. The conference in Rio has partially contributed to this. The cheapest and most effective cure for a lack of political commitment is the global awareness of people. Informed people will help speed up political commitments."@en1
