"Mr President, today’s discussion concerns energy and environmental protection. The impact of greenhouse gas emissions on climate change is real, although other factors are currently being underestimated.
I should like to emphasise that action on this matter must have a global dimension. Otherwise what will be the result of our drastic restriction of emissions, if other countries do not do likewise? It will simply lead to European goods becoming uncompetitive, and to our markets being dominated by those who have not introduced such restrictions.
We must also take into account the situation of countries such as Poland, whose power generation industry is largely based on coal. It would be appropriate to recognise the huge progress in reducing carbon emissions recently achieved by those countries.
The energy and climate change package must therefore be sensible and at the same time imbued with the spirit of solidarity. It should also be innovative, and supportive of the economy and the environment, whilst ensuring security and looking to the future, which is especially important at this time of major economic downturn."@en1
