"Mr President, I voted against this directive as it has an exceptionally harmful impact on European economic growth. The last climate summit in Durban clearly showed the global trend as regards approaches to the issue of climate change and the most forceful example in this regard was the behaviour of Canada, a highly ecological country, which ostentatiously exited the Kyoto Protocol.
Our prize for being European is a tax that will further increase the already astronomical fuel and electricity prices. This, apparently, will create jobs. Tax policy is an area reserved for individual states and the creation of this precedent of joint taxation is an attempt to create a financial drain on certain European Union Member States, which could well lead to distortions in competition."@en1
