"I voted in favour of Mr Rapkay’s report because I agree with extending the deadline to 2018. The 2014 deadline proposed by the Commission is not justified, even by the Commission impact assessment. On the basis of the Commission impact assessment, and as a logical follow-on to Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002, the 2018 deadline is an appropriate one, ensuring a socially acceptable solution without entailing mass redundancies in a number of Member States. In these times of crisis, I do not believe that pits should be closed and thousands of workers made redundant across Europe. What is more, the pollution problem should not be tackled as part of this issue. Indeed, closing these coal mines would not solve the problem, because instead of coal coming from them, it would be imported from abroad. If we want to find a solution to prevent climate change, we must find it in plants that use coal. Only by converting those types of plants will emissions be reduced."@en1
