"Madam President. Mr Barroso, when the credit crunch broke, you did nothing. It was the French Presidency that found the way to the emergency exit. You did not take back the reins: not with your European Economic Recovery Plan – you failed to make State aid to the car industry subject to strict environmental conditions – nor with a proposal for better financial supervision: you capitulated at the outset in the face of opposition from the City of London. The EU did hold the reins in the global approach to the climate crisis, but you are rapidly throwing them away.
You are threatening to buy most of our CO
reductions from developing countries instead of ensuring we emit less ourselves. You could blame national governments for this, but not for last week’s appallingly meagre proposal of climate aid to developing countries: EUR 2 billion. This is peanuts compared to the EUR 30–35 billion Europe ought to be providing. In so doing, you are severely hampering Copenhagen’s chances of success. There is the credit crunch, the economic crisis, the climate crisis – three tests of genuine leadership. Mr Barroso, three times you have failed to make the grade."@en1
