lpv:translated text	"The fight against the greenhouse effect is a major challenge for the industrialised countries and constitutes a specific duty in respect of the peoples of the developing world who are already paying for the consequences of global warming. Accepting the establishment of a market in carbon dioxide emissions at international level amounts to letting western countries duck their responsibilities by purchasing fictitious Russian emission rights or financing projects in southern countries that are completely inconsistent with their development needs, without any means of checking actual reductions in emissions. Pollution is not merchandise. If it becomes a source of profit, the door will be opened to every abuse. The draft resolution proposes to ratify the establishment of such a system, when ‘the technical and legal aspects have not yet been investigated’ and ‘the functioning and effectiveness of the system must be tested’. No controls or sanctions are proposed. Moreover the development of nuclear energy and carbon sinks must be excluded from the calculations for the reduction of emissions. If the European Union is to respect its commitments it must adopt an ambitious European programme for combating the greenhouse effect without delay – and on a completely different scale from the motion for a resolution in terms of policies and measures. In particular, action in the transport sector must be taken into account."@en1
