lpv:translated text	"Mr President, today we saw at the airport that nature can sometimes turn against technology. To avoid deliberately upsetting nature, we must draft effective climate policy. The emission of CO2 must be drastically reduced. A majority in this Parliament has been pleading for years that environmental costs should be passed on to the consumer. Environmental tax must be incorporated into air fares, especially in the air transport sector. So far, however, the European Union has failed, for there is no climate tax. Fortunately, there is also some good news. For a fee, the organisation plants trees after each plane trip you make. Every time you fly, you can buy a climate certificate to balance out the emission of CO2 from your trip. Despite a lack of legislation, we can at least put our money where our mouth is. The Dutch delegation in the Group of the Party of European Socialists has decided to back this initiative and to buy climate certificates in Strasbourg this week for their plane trips. I urge the President and all the other fellow MEPs who travel regularly by air to do the same."@en1
