"This resolution aims to give guidance on the EU mandate at COP 18 (18th United Nations Climate Change Conference). It proposes enhanced action at the start of the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, calling for increased ambition between now and 2020 and seeking new sources of financing. It supports the introduction of robust accounting rules on ‘land use’, reallocation of land and forestry, and reduction of emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, particularly as regards the technical assessment of forest reference levels. Although we agree with some points, we strongly disagree with others: support for the creation of a global carbon market, with ‘links between the EU emissions trading scheme and other trading schemes’, at a time when the ineffectiveness and perversity of this market-based approach is clearly evident; support for the allocation of an exchange value, by allocating a price to ‘goods and services’ provided by biodiversity, which is halfway towards the commercial exploitation and private appropriation of nature and her resources; and removal, as a result of the vote in plenary, of the reference to patents (meaning that developing countries will not be required to purchase them). These points formed sufficient reason for us to vote against the report."@en1
