"Madam President, on behalf of the UK Conservative delegation, I say with some regret that we will be having to abstain on this vote, having been unable to agree a text which we can sign up to. With the climate summit coming up, I would like to affirm our support for the key message which emerged from the G8 and G20 in advance of the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP 17), namely, that the conclusions of the summit should be balanced, fair and credible, while at the same time maintaining and strengthening the multilateral rules-based response to climate change.
I fully support the need to build on the foundations of last year’s Cancún agreements, particularly the full realisation of the Green Climate Fund which, of course, is crucial to many potential outcomes in Durban. With such a firm working basis ahead of negotiations, it is therefore vital that the latest round of talks is not encumbered by unrealistic, unworkable and unaffordable wish lists. Yet that is precisely what this Parliament will present in Durban with the resolution which was recently adopted in the Environment Committee. In the midst of this crippling recession, it is out of touch to make sweeping suggestions like financial transaction taxes, full decarbonisation etc., and even an apparent rejection of UN multilateralism with an EU-style qualified majority voting system."@en1
