"Mr President, since I came into the Chamber, a note has been circulated by members of the Secretariat of the Committee on the Environment to say I have been appointed as rapporteur for the carbon capture and storage report.
CCS is supposed to be achieving potential CO
savings of up to 25%. If as much time had been spent by the Commission on CCS over the past few years as has been spent on aviation, I would be well pleased. Nonetheless I welcome this initiative – this tactic, if you like – to try and force an agreement out of an international body when we are having so much difficulty on the international stage.
We should be going with the tide, after all. Anyone who goes round Airbus or Boeing knows that the aircraft manufacturers are competing on the basis of fuel efficiency, and that of course means lower CO
emissions. So the tide is with us in a way that, when we are talking about power stations, it is not.
I would like the Commissioner to come back to this issue of Switzerland, because there were certainly questions being asked in my group about it. I take the point, however: we have an agreement here, and we need to ensure that it goes through unchanged and that there are no further delays.
Let us just hope that this is an example of the European Union being able to use its position in this arena of international negotiations to actually secure some very positive and binding commitments from other Member States across the world to make progress on this agenda."@en1
