"Hurricane “Lothar” should prompt us not to abide solely by the principle of undertaking repairs once the damage is done – something which is discussed at a very superficial level here –, but to switch to the precautionary principle, under the terms of which potential perpetrators are brought to book too. Current programmes must be accelerated. For example, as they stand, the Commission’s programmes will preclude us from meeting our obligations under Kyoto.
The trade in emissions rights is immoral to my mind and rather than solving the problem, it shelves it. The entire taxation system must be given an environmental perspective in the medium term. We must work more rapidly towards achieving the targets stipulated in the White Paper for renewable energy sources, as this would bring about a massive reduction in greenhouse gases.
The new Commission has not put forward nearly enough on this subject, and what it has put forward is woefully inadequate!"@en1
