"The motion for a resolution is dressed up in cheap environmentally-friendly colours and generalised expressions of good intent, to conceal its reactionary content which bears the stamp of imperialist groupings and organisations.
It criticises air and road transport for being major generators of CO
as compared with sea and rail, and yet it sends out the message that freedom of choice (for the multinationals) is fundamental to world trade.
For the transport sector, it calls for greenhouse gas trading, which has failed to reduce CO
emissions but has proved to be a profitable stock-exchange mechanism for capital. It supports the targets of the international monopolies for generous funding through the ‘Clean Development Mechanism’ (CDM).
It allocates to the European Investment Bank the role of an ‘environmentally-friendly’ supervisor which will act ‘in accordance with advice from the OECD and G8’, and demands that future proposals should be those dictated by the WTO.
The essential point is that natural resources are still being plundered by the multinationals, forests are being depleted, reserves of clean water are being reduced and degraded, desertification is spreading, GM crops are becoming more widespread, toxic chemicals are causing pollution, armed conflicts and imperialist intervention are perpetuating themselves, greenhouse gases are building up, billions of people endure capital’s plunder and profiteering, and this resolution will provide back-up and assistance.
We, the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece, will therefore vote against the motion."@en1
