"Mr President, Doha must deliver meaningful progress on the Durban package. We must carefully balance the risks of climate change with the economic prosperity of the EU.
While I believe that the transition to a low-carbon economy offers opportunities for growth and investment, I am also mindful that the EU-15 countries, where emissions are not falling, are those Member States which are suffering the most from the Euro crisis, for example Portugal and Spain.
While the British Government supports a 30 % reduction target for CO
emissions, I do not believe there is an appetite for this amongst Member States. I therefore hope the Commission will proceed cautiously and pragmatically at Doha.
Negotiations over the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol are also going to be tricky. I hope, too, the Commission will come up with a workable compromise on this issue that can satisfy the majority of the Member States."@en1
