"Mr President, we have to move on from the Kyoto agreement to be successful in preventing climate change. For that reason, we need a longer-term action programme, as proposed by the country holding the Presidency. International emissions trading must be assessed according to how effective it will be in reducing emissions. Environmental taxation is important, and that is why it has been discussed here. It is an important means of achieving cleaner production processes and cleaner transport. Ambitious attempts on the part of individual countries are doomed to failure unless there is progress in the EU area as a whole. The cultivation of forests, as a means of dispensing with carbon dioxide, is still being discussed; this discussion must continue openly and we should also make more of the versatility of forests with regard to the environment and the prevention of climate change."@en1
