"Mr President, politics and psychology go together and right now, many people are trying to talk down expectations ahead of the Kyoto negotiations in Copenhagen in a few weeks’ time. Precisely the same thing happened when we negotiated the climate targets. The climate targets that we proposed and worked for in this Parliament had been declared dead and buried not once, but perhaps ten times, by the time we obtained the final decision.
It is exactly the same with the climate package. It has been declared dead and buried by those who, in fact, are opposed to the climate targets. I would therefore call on the Swedish Presidency to continue its good work in the negotiations and its constructive line, because if we do not aim for a fully binding agreement in Copenhagen, we will not achieve it. However, the two degree target is extremely important and therefore we must now push forward with full commitment. Seneca once observed that humanity can be divided into two groups: those who go on ahead and do something and those who walk behind and criticise."@en1
