".
I expressly favour the ambitious targets that Europe has set itself in relation to environmental and energy issues. However, Europe should not allow itself to become isolated as a result of its pioneering role.
It is absolutely vital that greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced and appropriate rules must also be established beyond European borders; after all air does not respect Europe’s boundaries. However, the targets should be negotiated in consultation and agreement with the third countries, particularly if these targets impact upon them directly. The European Union’s Emissions Trading System (ETS) is a good example of how an arrangement agreed at European level can encounter international resistance just before coming into force.
Europe should hold fast to its agreed policies, while at the same time seeking international dialogue. In relation to the ETS, a compromise should be found at the level of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) that will enable third countries also to accept the ETS."@en1
