".
I voted for the motion for a resolution on the climate change conference in Durban. We think that the EU needs to take the initiative and devise an ambitious EU climate policy which reduces climate change, in order to demonstrate the advantages of such a policy and encourage other countries to follow suit. We call on the EU to define and create a separate budget line for funding climate measures so as to ensure that this funding is actually new and additional. I should emphasise that energy savings enable job creation and economic savings, increase energy security and competitiveness and help reduce polluting emissions. An estimated 2 billion people across the globe continue to lack access to sustainable and affordable energy. I should stress the need to tackle the issue of energy poverty in line with the objectives of the climate change policy. The development and deployment of innovative technologies hold the key to fighting climate change. To convince the EU’s partners worldwide that emissions reductions are feasible without losing competitiveness and jobs, I call for an international commitment to increase R&D investments in innovative technologies in the energy-intensive industrial sectors."@en1
