"Madam President, representatives of the European Commission and Presidency, allow me first of all to express my support for the agreement reached within the framework of the European Council and the trialogue on the energy and climate change package.
This confirms the European Union’s role as a driving force in the fight against climate change. At the same time, it takes into account the need for Europe to remain competitive and preserve jobs during a period of deep global economic crisis.
When it comes to emissions trading, the agreement reached on solidarity with the new Member States from Central and Eastern Europe and on taking into account their efforts during the period after 1990 is evidence of the viability of the European values which made Europe attractive to a large number of peoples.
As regards the capture and storage of carbon dioxide, I would like to call on the European Commission to honour the agreement reached on using 300 million tonnes of carbon emission allowances, with suggestions for cofinancing from the outstanding balance on the 2008 budget and for favourable credits from the European Investment Bank.
I hope, Madam President, that the climate package will become the basis for positive changes in the future, both with regard to the climate and economic development in countries like mine, Bulgaria, and in other Central and Eastern European countries."@en1
